The bottom line is that it doesn't matter wether or not we find the weapons (though I think we will.) The burden of proof was on Saddam, and he never proved to the requirements of 1441 (let alone all the other resolutions) that he destroyed all the weapons. Given the lack of proof and cooperation on his part, the coalition had no choice but to assume he still had the weapons, and intended to use them (which he had a past record of.) This crap about the Bush administration lying/covering things up is just that. Aside from the inherent complications in any kind of intelligence gathering, Iraq is a big country, and all this clamoring about "no WMD's" demonstrates a huge lack of patience on the part of those who kept insisting "Give the inspections more time." Not to mention that the inspections were meant to *verify*, not prove that Saddam had dismantled and destroyed all weapons programs -- which he did not do. I really don't see how people can sit there and complain when an entire country has been freed of a brutal dictator, and the world has one less threat to security. But I guess complaining is more fun.
