The flaw with that analogy Phaenx with the WMD is not that the WMD don't exist anymore - its the fact that they might've been destroyed or taken out before and hence don't exist now.
Unless your remote got blown up or something and hence doesn't exist now.
the fact now though is, we KNOW that Saddam had them before - its a fact that eveyrone agrees upon.
What we are arguing over now is whether he had them as reasons for the war - obviously people beg to differ.
You can't say that just because we haven't found them now they never existed. At the same token, you can't say that just because we haven't found any yet that they are defenitely there.
The key is whether the WMD were destroyed or not. If they were destroyed, this search is by god pointless.
And i will say that right now with the numerous intelligence blunders, the entire WMD reason is going down.
