Speaking of persistent myths, I noticed yesterday that someone (buzzsawmonkey?) on this board still seems to believe that Saddam Hussein had WMDs but moved them to Syria. I had thought this theory had been inoperable since 2005 (link). Of course, there are still arguments that can be made for the desirability of the invasion, but I think it’s important to make those arguments under factual premises which best conform to our present level of knowledge.
