1. There were thought to be WMDs missing and there was no Iraqi cooperation as to what happened to them... that is a fact. Part of the problem Blix (and the rest of the world) had was about those missing WMDs... also a fact.
2. The tune, while primarily about WMDs, always had the hand-in-hand discussion about liberation. Again, also a fact.

None of the above involve speculation or a choice to believe... simply facts.

>1. No WMD's were found before by Blix and his crew, nor after the invasion by the U.S. forces.
>2. When no WMD's were found the tune changed to 'liberation'.

Nice try, Alan. What you choose to do is speculate that our administration knew there were no WMDs. That's not a fact, nor is it based on any.
