[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] [QUOTE]Actually, the liberation angle was stressed "OVER AND OVER AGAIN" as well.[/QUOTE]Yeah, once we couldn't find any WMD. Bush's little vendetta suddenly became about a bunch of different things, none of which threatened the national security of the United States. Oh, but Jay, the Iraqi people were oppressed and we needed to help them. As a liberal, I agree with that. But I'd also point out that we don�t have a foreign policy of humanitarian intervention, if we did, we wouldn�t stop at Iraq. Heck, Iraq might not have even been on the top of the list...North Korea anyone?? Rather we have a foreign policy of self interest, economic and otherwise. And despite the argument offered by the second article David posted, motivations matter. There is no way Bush could have rallied support for his war by saying it was to free the oppressed Iraqi people, so he flat out fabricated a story about Saddam�s WMD being aimed out our proverbial hearts, making Saddam a threat to our self interest.
