If they had been able to kill scores of US troops it might provide the impetus for the likes of Kerry, Clinton, Gore, Kennedy, Daschle, Byrd, Rangle, Conyers, Jackson Lee, Pelosi, et alia (with their flanks covered by Rather, Jennings, NPR, CNN, Brokaw and the NY Times) to demand that the President withdraw our troops post haste.
Good point. But OTOH with WMD findings wouldn't that actually galvanize support for the President due to proof of said substances that many already believe are hidden somewhere? Like maybe...Iran or Syria? skerry et al could no longer continue to argue that we went to war under false pretenses as they are so fond of doing.

Of course Hans Blix has already said this is not proof of WMD.
