I recall damn well - from the speech made on the eve of the invasion - that the reason was mushroom clouds (nucular, of course), aluminum tubes and yellowcake to be given to the "terrists". The quote was something like "Saddam must disarm immedately, or we will invade".

Please correct me. Please go find a citation for a quote remotely resembling "please provide freedom and democracy immediately, or we will invade".

Tell ya what - I'll hold my breath. Aaahhhhhhp..........
