Maybe you weren't aware that the original foreign policy of regime change, by use of military force if necessary, was initiated by President Clinton.
Perhaps you didn't know that it was Clinton's CIA head who called the WMD a "slam dunk" before the Downing Street memo.
Perhaps you didn't concern yourself, pre-war, with the fact that sanctions were a failure as a policy and that the UN became more interested in preserving the status quo than in solving the problems involved, possibly due to corruption.
Maybe you weren't paying attention when the Saudis changed their own stripes to actively pursue al Qaeda.
Maybe you didn't care that a lot of the anti-war rationales worldwide were due to oil contracts given to the various Hussein supporters.
Could it be the administration's non-WMD rationales were very much a part of the stated pre-war justification and that all those rationales are forgotten or ignored by your sources?
Did you not pay attention to Saddam's support for other terrorists or the link to the 1993 WTC bombing, or are those thing not really relevant to you?
Sorry for the stupid attitude I take here, I can't help myself, I would not be an asshole in real life.
