Keep in mind that if we had found vast caches of WMDs, these very same people would be complaining that our brave troops (although I doubt they'd use that adjective) were out in the desert digging up weapons while the Baghdad power grid wasn't in full working order and water service wasn't up to pre war levels.
The pro-dictatorship left will seize on anything they can to try and discredit the administration. They have no morality or ethics so the irony of them attacking the U.S. while turning a blind eye to the mass graves, torture chambers, and children's prisons left behind by their hero is lost on them.
The likelihood that Saddam disposed of his WMDs, without any record or evidence is remote. He's had five years to conceal the banned weapons and programs and they're not going to be found overnight. So far, we've gone through about 25% of the known military munitions depots, a highly unlikely place to hide WMDs. They'll be found sooner or later. Until then I turn a deaf ear to the critics of this operation, who will be proven totally and conclusively wrong yet again.

I could support the right when it comes to the left complaining about water not running in Baghdad. However, even though WMD's were not the entire reason for going into Iraq, they certainly were made a centerpiece. Remember there were claims in terms of time that Saddam could launch the WMD's. Scant evidence has been found and even what has been found is the potential for a couple of mobile labs with no traces of poisonous compounds found on them. And yes, the water isn't running regularly in Baghdad on top of what appears to be a WMD stretch.
