A conservative friend of mine explained it thusly: The war in Iraq was about preventing muslim extremists from getting WMD. Saddam wasn't crazy enough to attack us with the WMD he was manufacturing, but he would have sold them to extremist groups to use against us in terror attacks. He also admitted that the CIA had some intelligence failures, but "let's not make a big deal of it."
Personally, I'm sold on that spin.
