Flimsy excuses to go to war don't generally work - body bag political. 1 or two deaths is great, big media splash, huge funerals, autobiographies, half a ton of post humus medals doe honerably dieing but when the start adding up, the political tide can turn very, very quickly.
You've got Bin Laden - THE number one enemy - aparantly in Iraq - now that is a damn good excuse, a far better one than "oh well, we were in the area why not". Which is fine, if it had a scrap of truth to it, which i honestly find hard to beleive.
