You need to phone Bush and tell him this is the REAL reason, then, 
because he's given, like, 6 at least, as conditions have changed. Some 
newer reasons are supposed to be retroactive. One was to enforce a UN 
decision, which no individual UN member has a right to do unilaterally. 
Oh well, fuck the rules! But no one else can do that, just the US.

What I was responding to was the reasons actual decision-makers gave for 
war, not one point you selected among many that were fed to the hoi polloi.
