I mean hell the screwed up so bad they had to keep inventing reasons why they invaded iraq:
The MAIN reason for war was WMD's....none
Secondary reason for war Al-Qaeda......none (before the war)
Third reason to spread freedom like fairy dust.....complete bullshit
If this whole thing was about oil I wouldn't even mind, if Bush said "We have to invade Iraq because we have reached the worlds peak oil suppy. We need to rape and pillage Iraq to get our black gold so we can fight future wars with China, Iran, North Korea."
I'd be fine with that if it was the truth.....problem is nobody knows why we REALLY went to war. Hell we don't even know what "victory" in Iraq means, there is simply no way for the US to "win"

Actually, in total the media has given us 27 separate reasons, 23 came directly from the administration.
This thesis looks at everything said by everyone in the administration during the lead up to war.
