These just seem to be anti-war protests. I'm not seeing anything that suggests they knew it was false, or that that was the reason for the protests

I was part of the protests. It was widely reported in the media that WMDs weren't found, that Iraq was cooperating with the UN, and that the government's evidence was debunked.

The "anti-war" thing was just a big-tent message that most of those against the war could agree to (with each group having their own reason for being against it).
