E.J. Dionne has it right when he states, "Note that he's (Bush) not telling us we should wage war against the evil Hussein for humanitarian reasons -- that was not the central rationale then, though it is now...."
Don't be fooled. We were always told the #1 reason for the war was WMD, not to save the Iraqi people from a bad man. However, as E.J. mentions, you hear Bush more and more sneak in that humanitarian-based reason now that the WMD and links to Al Qaeda reasons have been completely decimated. He's revising history. And remember, Bush campaigned in 2000 using an anti-nation-building message.
