So why'd we invade Iraq?


To get rid of Saddam Husein and his Baath party.


The Administration went to great lengths to explain that regime
change was NOT
the reason for invasion. That would have been illegal under UN
rules. Weapons of
Mass Destruction were the justification.

These weapons were located East, West, North, South and a little
North West of
Baghdad. Remember? It was a 'Slam Dunk'..

Actually, regime change was one of the big reasons
touted in the US in the last couple of months leading
up to the invasion. It was in the background for a
while, but it came to the forefront when people wanted
another explanation other than WMD.

Huh! I remeber Cheney and Dominatrix Condi Rice and their ''smoking
gun in the shape of a throbbing mushroom cloud''. I remember poor
Colin Powell waving a bottle of Anthrax at the U.N.

Herr Wolfowitz says they used WMD as a reason because ''regime
change'' wouldn't fly with the peeps.

The Valerie Wilson deal, the Downing Street Minutes, Bolton, etc.
are
all the same story. Bush lied us into war.

I remember the "what will it take to get us to call off the
invasion?" question posed to members of the
Administration, and the response was "regime change".
