In the end none of this matters. Some are convinced that WMDs and Saddam's ability to strike the US are the only reasons we went to war. Others believe these were parts of the reason, while still others believe they had little to nothing to do with the invasion.
Even if we found a cache of wmds built two years ago with video of Saddam stamping the shells out himself the argument will be turned to "but the shells couldn't have struck the US".
At this point it doesn't matter. The best available intelligence from a dozen or more countries pointed to wmds in Iraq. Saddam gambled and through his speeches, actions, and games tried to make it appear that he had them (probably for very good reasons like not wanting to appear weak to his neighbors). The gamble failed and we are in Iraq. Nothing will convince some that it was a just cause. Nothing will convince others that it wasn't.
