Jesus! They found Saddam.

To be honest I wasn't expecting that to happen.

Not that it really changes anything.

Are you honestly telling me, that if they found WMD (let's say Saddam tells where they are in exchange for a life sentence), you wouldn't dismiss it with "Not that this really changes anything"?

I believe I've defended the invasion on numerous occasions in the past, on the grounds that I did want Saddam gone and that the people behind it seemed to have their heart in the right place.

Having evidence that they were acting on decent information about an actual threat would certainly set my mind at rest on that front.

Me too ... I guess I overestimated how much the WMD was a make-or-break issue for you.

I'm especially concerned not because I think they lied about WMD, but because the US military fucked up and let them get smuggled out of the country.

Yeah, that must be worrying for those die-hard believers in WMDs... but don't worry: they were lying about WMD.
