During Bush the Younger's administration, it was fashionable for members of the political left to argue "If Bush really cared about WMDs, then he'd do X, Y, and Z." The implication was that since he wasn't doing X, Y, and Z, he was operating in bad faith. Once this "bad faith" was established, it became easy for the left not to talk at all about Iraq.
