<we do not want to wage war easily> Bush adopts a policy that says he can go to war with any country if there is intelligence showing an unacceptable threat, then Bush spins some wild stories about mushroom clouds and asks Congress for a blank check to wage war against Iraq and they give it to him without asking any questions or reading the National Intelligence Estimate. Bush then launches a war based on "intelligence" that he did not even bother to read. When the intelligence turns out to be completely wrong (not to mention that his dire statements went far beyond what the intelligence would have supported had anybody actually read it), and Bush says none of this matters anyway, going to war was the right thing to do.

..."we do not want to wage war easily"?

It does not get any "easier" than this.
