Win, you're beating a dead horse. This was all clear, a long time ago. What you need to understand, is that when someone says "Saddam had WMD in 2002, and we will find them eventually", he is making a religious statement. It's like saying, "I believe in pre-destination", or "I believe the Communion wine is the blood of Christ". Statements of belief in Iraqi WMD, is a way of affirming their faith, expressing group solidarity with the War Party, offering homage to Kali the Earth-Destroyer. Faith like this is impervious to facts. The more facts you bring to the discussion, the more the Faithful circle the wagons and angrily denounce your heresy.
