(Answer: no, because you keep ignoring the real reason for the war.
The real reason for the war is Middle East transformation.)

The reason we're confused is the story from the White House keeps changing.
At first it was %90 WMD, with a few vaque accusations about terrorist ties. The possible uranium purchase was mixed in there somewhere. The trigger was a report of a WMD with a 45 minute prep time.
Now that no WMD's have been found, it's all about freedom and nation-building.
If the Presidents critics seem to be wandering around, it's because we are simply trying to keep track of the changing story out of the White House.
Bush wants everyone to believe that this war was all about freedom for Iraq in the same way everyone believes that the American Civil War was all about freedom for southern slaves.
Its a nice story but that doesn't make it true, or worth thousands of live and hundreds of billions of dollars (future cost over 10 years).
