I think they oversold the WMD, and undersold the "liberation." If the main reason for war had been liberation of Iraqis, I'd have opposed it outright. Now it's their best argument.

Er, David Kay found evidence of Saddam trying to buy nukes or nuke processing materials, some from North Korea.

So it sounds like you believe few issues were large enough to justify war at all. Okay...

For your consideration:

That's exactly why they "undersold" the issue.

What makes it even more ridiculous is that "the liberation of Iraq" doesn't even pass the smell test, either. If the U.S. is supposed to be liberating Iraqis from the grips of Saddam's small band of loyalists, and these loyalists are armed with little more than AK-47s, RPGs, and roadside explosives -- then the "liberation of Iraq" could be accomplished simply by handing out an M-16 and several thousand rounds of ammunition to everyone in the country.
