CNN reports that the White House is launching a propaganda campaign to justify its decision to invade Iraq and to help make the case that Scooter and Rove didn't leak in order to deceive the public about the war. It's weird, very weird.
So, I figured it was time to remind everyone that if Bush didn't twist the intelligence, if he didn't desperately grab at straws to try to justify a war that was unjustifiable, then why did the Bush administration change its reason 27 times for why we were going to war in Iraq?
Let's revisit a few of those 27 ever-changing reasons Bush gave us for why we needed to get to war in Iraq, then tell me that this wasn't a man willing to say or do anything in order to invade:
1. War On Terror
2. WMD
3. Denied Access to Inspectors
4. Regime Change
5. Saddam Hussein is Evil
6. Curry Favor with the Middle East
7. Set an Example for Nations that Sponsor Terrorism
8. Liberate Iraqis
9. Iraq's Broken Promises
10. Revenge
11. Threat To the Region
12. Because We Can
13. Unfinished Business
14. For the Sake of History
15. Disarmament
16. Commitment to Our Children
17. Imminent Threat
18. Preserve Peace
19. Threat To Freedom
20. Link to al Qaeda
21. Iraq is Unique
22. Relevance of the United Nations
23. International Law
24. Saddam had an insatiable appetite for WMD
