...you're trying to use information gained AFTER the invasion as
justification for NOT invading...
you do understand how your logic doesn't work, right?
Obviously, that is logical. If we know for a fact that Saddam didn't have a nuclear wepaons program, how would it justify the invasion? Or, if you assume logic cannot be applied in retrospect (a position I don't share), roughly the same argument was reasonable during the inspections. If they did not find a weapons program, why stop the inspections? Would you really have me believe Saddam's supposed "games" justified invading the country again? Or what if they actually did find weapons? Would that be an instant excuse to invade because Saddam supposedly headed a uniquely powerful state?

And, of course, there were skeptics all along, such as Scott Ritter.
