Rather Orwellian
I find it incredibly disturbing how quietly the focus of this war shifted from WMD's to the "liberation" of the Iraqi people. And now that we've found no WMD's at all, it seems everyone has forgotten the massive scaremongering, the Powell presentation at the UN, the idea that Saddam was building a massive army of death and must be stopped like Hitler in 1939, or that he would sell nukes to fringe groups who would aim them at Washington. In short:
"The reason the US invaded Iraq was to liberate the Iraqi people. The reason the US invaded Iraq has always been to liberate the Iraqi people."
If you've read 1984, you'll know what I mean.
