Bush's reason were convoluted and confused. The WMD thing was dropped like hot potatoes and changed to the equally screwy, anti-American "Bush Doctrine" justifying our invasion to make other countries "democratic." What a load of H.S.

It was only 'convoluted and confused' if you were getting your news from MSNBC or Ron Paul - the 'WMD thing' you casually dismiss was taken quite seriously by the Democrats in the House and Senate, and most other other national and international intelligence agencies.

There was a lot of debate about the existence of WMD's. And there was also a lot of debate about WMD's justifying an invasion.

Why did Bush early on, replace the WMD's for the "Bush Doctrine" as justification for invasion?
