FEL, how can that be reason enough?

This whole situation is surreal.

We are at war with East Asia, we have always been at war with East Asia.
We are allies with Eurasia, we have always been allies with Eurasia.

Seriously, it's like George Bush is channeling George Orwell.

The war started and it was all about imminent danger, Saddam has WMD.

No WMD found, they changed the story to Humanitarian and Saddam had WMD programs.

No WMD programs plus many reports to the contrary and now it is we went to war to free the Iraqi peoples and Saddam had ideas in his head about some day down the line thinking about maybe starting up a weapons program after we all fell asleep sound in our beds. Ooh plus Saddam IS the WMD, That is SPIN

They have completely changed the story and are saying that is the reason we went in in the first place. But it's not. The is no more than a sentence in the SOTU about humanitarian concerns, the rest is doom and gloon Saddam has WMD and is going to kill us all with his balsa wood drones.

The testimony Kay has given about his report is that there were no programs, and no plans to start up any programs, and certainly not any wmd except for a vial of botox that is in any number of american pantries, back yards, and refrigerators today.
Further Kay postulates, as I have believed for a while now, that Saddam provided no proof of his lack of arms because of fear that he would appear weak to Iran and be attacked. And who would really step up to protect them?

It is not sufficient to wage war because Saddam lied to us, choosing to conceal the proof that he no longer had WMD capabilities.

To assert something like that is just ludicrous.
