What's clear to me form reading this (and what pisses me off) is that they had decided on a regime change and used the WMD card as a pretext. If WMD's are your reason for invading another country, then I would think North Korea might be a litlle higher on the agenda.
If the Shrub had come right out and said "We think Sadam is a dangerous and bad man. We'd like to get rid of him. And we might get some cheaper gas to boot" I'd have said "Go for it". And if he had rallied the country around him then he is free and clear.
To justify an action with a reason that is not the case, is deceptive. And I believe that when someone gives a reason for a war that is not the real reason, I'm free to yell liar.
