If that's the case, then why all the smokescreen about using Iraq as a
strategic base, keeping terrorists at arm's length, and of course WMDs?

In other words, you think that a majority... perhaps 51%... of
Americans' are too stupid to understand, and that's why they voted for
Bush & Cheney?

Wolfowitz admitted as much when he said that there were several reasons we
went to war with Iraq, but the administration "chose the one area issue
everyone could agree on" (ie--WMD).


And it was a big fat lie from day 1.



We both know the reason, I'm just curious as to whether or not you can
admit it publicly.


Admit "what" publicly? That there were several reasons for going to war?

No, that Bush & Cheney lie routinely, because it's their only option to
try and hold some positive opinion among those too stupid to understand
the truth.


Was Pearl Harbor the only reason we went to war with Japan *and* Germany?

No, German subs attacked U.S. ships before we declared war on them.

Of course, that wasn't the *only* reason either. Germany & Italy & Japan
had attacked & invaded other nations we were allied with.

... it was the catalyst mixed in with a bunch of other ingredients.


So, you agree that we had solid reasons for entering WW2 (despite the
widespread Republican hatred of FDR) but that Bush & Cheney had to fall
back on a lame-ass lies to convince Americans to back the war against Iraq?
