Sounds like a whole bunch of rationalizing for what GWB wanted to do from the start. First there's this reason, then there's that reason. And for the record, I (and millions of others) never thought they had them (WMDs). I always assumed it was posturing on their side and posturing on your side. It was almost like you were made for each other. The other guy just blinked first.
