Iraq needed some attention. Their obligation was to deliver proof( via cooperation ) that they had indeed disarmed. That there was doubt in sustainable measure was quite enough proof to demand some action.

It appears that the whole truth, and nothing but the truth was not going to get that band of Liars an apathetic and ignorant consituency elected what it wanted...and here we are now, looking around with only ourselves to blame.

If we can't throw the rascals out, it is indeed our own fault.
