Come on fellas, I wanted to see some spin for lack of WMDs. You're not even trying.

Actually, genocide and WMD's were both part of the original reasoning.
Remember? Saddam was a ruthless dictator that didn't hesitate to use WMD's against his own countrymen for
genocide.
Now, the 9/11 commission has vindicated Bush. It says that Saddam indeed planned to restart his WMD programs as soon as the international heat went away -- which if countries like France and other critics of the war had their way, it would have.
Dems are standing on one SMALL part of the 9/11 report that favors them to call Bush a liar. When taken in context, we can say with a pretty high degree of certainty that a catastrophe was prevented.
After all, part of the Bush doctrine is being proactive rather than reactive when combating terrorism. Based on that, his and the legislature's decision to go into Iraq was a sound one.
