I feel I am being shoehorned into a position here ;-)

My position: based on the facts available to us, there is no reason apart from propoganda and feelings provided to us from Fox, to insist that SH had WMD. People can "believe" he had WMD if they wish, but this is not based on evidence available to us.

Opinions re "why SH didn't use WMD" are academic until WMD are found.

Once WMD are found, the facts available to us are changed and the opinions based on those facts, should change. This change is not a sign of stupidity or "being wrong".

Some people (not you) have retained the same opinion all along, independent of the facts. These people hope that their beliefs will turn out true so they can triumphantly say "see, told you so!" as if they are right and we dummies were wrong for relying on facts rather than hunches and beliefs.

I suppose we could all move to Vegas and earn a massive living based on hunches and beliefs, a suggestion with just as much logical merit as the above.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.

-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
