"Reasons" then and now are two entirely different things. When pressed

I don't find fault with anyone who does so in good faith, even if they
are found to be in error in history's hindsight.

Except when going to war, you had better be damned sure. "Whoops, sorry",
doesn't cut it to the dead.

It's was vomit inducing to hear the former administration use the
"finish the job" excuse in order to honor those who "paid the ultimate
price."

Finishing the job in this case would be to uphold the law so that
others don't have to pay the ultimate price for lawbreaking liars.
