I believe it's too late. Had we been able to prove there were 1) links between the al Qaeda, 9/11, Saddam, Iraq, we would have had a justification for our war in Iraq (one of the largest obsticles for the administration in the PR department). The weapons are fast becoming a sidenote to the "free iraq" motto. Because of the fundamental change in the reasoning behind our attack on Iraq, proving there were WMDs, while helpful, would not heal the hemoraging wound of credibility. Honestly, right now, there is evidence contradicting the this story about weapons being moved to Syria. During several interrogations in the early to mid 90s information was extracted that confirmed that most if not all the weapons were destroyed because of the UN inspections.
