It seems like an easy move to make to me. If you say it's WMDs, you have to eventually turn out the WMDs. If you say it's cocaine, well there's plenty of coke in Venezuela. It's dead simple to tie it to Maduro and label him a drug lord as justification.
WMDs posed a threat to the surrounding nations and the US.
Coke is a threat primarily to coke addicts.
We didn't, for example, invade Afghanistan because of the poppy fields.
