> The reasons for the war were WMD's among other things.

The stated reason was that this was a war against terrorism. Bush stated Iraq had links to Al Queda, and the implication was we had to get rid of their vast stockpiles of WMD before it was given to terrorists. Turns out the whole thing was a lie from begining to end. Bush cynically used 9/11 to get America to go along with his plan and now is trying to rewrite history as to why this war was justified.

This war was not about WMDs, lots of countries have WMDs. This was not about getting rid of a dictator, there are plenty of dictators in the world. Neither explains why we went after Saddam. This was about money. And more than that this was about hegemony.
