Do you really think Bush publicly revealed ALL the reasons? You can't be that naive.

Naive? I am mearly pointing out that the strawman arguement, promoted by the left, that Bush made his entire reason for war as a full arsenal of WMD's ready as an emminent danger, is a shallow and undetailed vision of the recent history. They like that arguement as Saddam had buried, squirreled away, dispursed and played shell games with the UN so that only modest amounts of items were found post-invasion. Therefore, it can be knocked down and all sorts of hidden agenda issues can be trumped up and offered in its place with little proof.

I actually like the sincerity of a later statement to the point in his next State of the Union Speech:

Some have said that we must not act until the threat is imminent…. If this threat is permitted to full and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words and all recriminations would come too late. Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy, and it is not an option.

— George Bush, 2003 State of the Union speech
