ONE, TWO, THREE, WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR?


Good grief, what's next? This one has chills running up and down my spine:

Equipment and materials that could be used to make nuclear weapons are disappearing from Iraq (news - web sites) but neither Baghdad nor Washington appears to have noticed, the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency reported on Monday.
...
In the absence of any U.S. or Iraqi accounting, council diplomats said the satellite images could mean the gear had been moved to new sites inside Iraq or stolen. If stolen, it could end up in the hands of a government or terrorist group seeking nuclear weapons.
...
President Bush (news - web sites), locked in a tough reelection battle with Senator John Kerry (news - web sites) of Massachusetts, justified the war, in part, by saying that then-Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) was on the brink of developing a nuclear bomb that he might use against the United States or give to terrorists.


It's perfectly clear that we went into Iraq for fundamentally different reasons than the 20-or-more that Bush and Cheney have cited. How is it possible for half the nation to deny it?
