“Intent, Yeah, That’s The Ticket”
The search for WMDs ain’t going too well. So we’ve switched to searching for Saddam’s “intent” to manufacture them.
Why can’t the Bush administration just come out and admit they went into Iraq because they wanted to get Saddam? Generally I’ve found that if I attempt to discuss the war in Iraq Part Deux with people who supported it, they will say something to the effect of “well isn’t it better for Iraqis that Saddam’s not there?” Of course it is. But by that rationale (ovethrowing asshole dictators), we should be invading a lot more countries around the globe. So if this is the true reason for invading Iraq (which it wasn’t…at least until the WMDs proved elusive), why not admit it, invade another couple dozen nations, and quit being so half-assed?
