I thought the administration made some of those other reasons clear. Yeah...they did bounce from reason to reason, after the first one, WMDs, began to fail as a valid one. And let's assume for a moment that the administration did have all these reasons from the start, is it ok to spin on "the one reason everyone can agree on" when the stakes are war? Isn't the vote taken by congress on the reasons given then null and void? Al

>I thought the administration made some of those other reasons clear. They just chose to emphasize the WMD because it made the strongest case for war, assuming they were there. And back then, everyone did assume that, including the opponents to the war. They most certainly did, but if it weren't for the WMD and Al-Qaida arguments, the people of the U.S. would not have supported the war. Especially given the price tag. >>Neo-conservative experiment had to start somewhere >Good one. ;-) Oh, not a joke. I'm serious. And I agreed with it. Planned correctly, that'd be my rationale. I'm a fan of that agenda, in a lot of ways. >>Bush grudge >Remember when people were saying just over a year ago, "We should have taken out Saddam back in the first Gulf War"? Yup. I was one of 'em. And the more I think about it, the more I think I may have been mistaken. -Z
