No one can reasonably accuse the administration of a rush to war.

I can, and I do, and reasonably as well. It was a rush to war because it was not necessary. It was a rush to war because the facts it was asserted on were false and deceptive. It was a rush to war because the planning was immature. It was a rush to war because the inspectors were beginning to succeed. It was a rush to war because Saddam was a lying braggart. It was a rush to war because the situation called not for war but for a better answer than war, one suited to a moral high ground that Bush had already sold out to commercial development, and an honor for the principles of law among nations that he could not understand.
