Misdirection
Tom Brosz — (archived)

Just out of curiosity, how exactly would America have obtained "evidence" sufficient to convince you...presumably an entire nuclear weapons factory in operation and clearly labeled...BEFORE the war? Did you really think a few U.N. inspectors had a chance of finding such things on the ground, given proven and documented attempts by Iraq to evade inspection?

The only thing to go by is intelligence data obtained through informers, defectors, technological observation (photos from planes and space), and other items that by their very nature, are open to interpretation.

Bush would have had nothing else but this intelligence from afar to go on.

Of course, an actual WMD attack, claimed by Saddam, would have fallen into the category you want.

BTW, the public data I have seen of that nature was conclusive enough to me, even if it isn't to you.
