The case to invade Iraq wasn't centered around Halabja. It was centered around questionable intelligence about "aluminum tubes" supposedly purposed for nuclear devices, and supposed "mobile anthrax labs." Evidence suggests the administration knew that intel was bad, but they used it anyway. A Senate investigation later concluded that the administration "misrepresented the intelligence and the threat from Iraq."
Hold whatever opinion you want about whether or not we should have invaded Iraq, but what is not in question is the fact that we were misled in the buildup to war.
