To avoid being confused with a propagandist, might I recommend not using the term "left" to describe those skeptical of preliminary reports.
Even Rumsfeld belittled reporters who asked about it today.
And just to rehash the truth of the WMD debate (rather than the ridiculous rhetoric), it was a question of threat, not a question of existence.
We know what they had. We know what was destroyed. What we don't know is what happened to the stuff we already know wasn't destroyed and what might be new. This is where things are very very clear and why UN 1441 was unanimous.
The question of threat (which includes intent) is highly susceptible to debate. Some felt there was imminent threat. Others did not.
Finding what we already knew existed doesn't prove threat.
Not that it matters any more. I'm just tired of hearing the same mischaracterizations and fallacies repeated.
