How is that a dead giveaway? He made the decision that after 9/11, war was necessary based on a novel interpretation of preemption that was more applicable and effective with the novel threats against the US that he saw evolving. Surely, you didn't expect him to fight terrorism like the way we fought WWI, WW2 or the first half of the Cold War now, did you? The distinctions between wars of choice and wars of necessity generally apply to conventional warfare between nation/states, not the unconventional warfare in the shadows made possible by increasingly portable and more destructive weaponry. Motive, means and opportunity. That only dead giveaway is that people like you see only what you want to see. That's why you're still arguing moot points while we are making genuine progress against the terrorists. That's not surprising. You're taking your cues from desperate Democrats who are now claiming their votes to go to war in late 2002 were based on lies in the SOTU speech that was given 3 months later in early 2003. That kind of gullibility borders on malice.
