If we raided Syria and found tons of Iraqi chemical and biological weapons, along with the complete paper trail leading up to them, the press+dems would still say, "But you didn't find any Niger yellowcake, did you? Bush still lied, people still died."

Speaking of paper trails...

From Article: He [Mr. Hoekstra] has also asked the director of national intelligence, John Negroponte, to declassify some 35,000 boxes of Iraqi documents obtained in the war that have yet to be translated.

"I still believe there are key individuals who have not been debriefed and there are key sites that have never been investigated. I know there are 35,000 boxes of documents that have never been translated. I am frustrated," Mr. Hoekstra said.

"raided Syria"

You are correct. The Dems will never admit that they were wrong and will simply move the goalposts. Most likely they will revert to their previous position that Hussein was "contained". Until a plane (or a subway train, or a semi, etc) full of Iraqi-made chem/bio weapons exploded somewhere in the U.S.
