Suppose Bush's intelligence isn't faulty or made up, whichever you prefer. America finds out Iraq has no weapons of mass destruction and isn't supporting Al Qaeda either. Iraq is left alone and Saddam Hussein stays in charge until today, assuming he wouldn't have died of natural causes between 2006 and 2010 anyway. In the meantime, troops that would have gone to Iraq, go to Afghanistan instead.

What happens? How does Iraq develop? Will the shitty economic situation of Saddam's regime improve and what about Iran? Will Ahmadinejad come to power there? How will the economic situation in the world be and of course the political situation in the US itself? A Hillary Clinton presidency after Bush is gone perhaps (if the Democrats still manage to win the elections in 2008).

I apologize if there are already threads on this, but the search function is rather shitty.
