"I (am)sure is difficult to have it both way(s). The game plan was to

1) oust Saddam
2) find WMDs

Game Plan? What on earth are you talking about?

1) Oust Saddam - Official US Government Policy since 1998 - True? Please don't argue that is simply a matter of record.

2) Find WMD's - Well not exactly, I actually believe that it was to ensure that they (Iraq) didn't have any, or didn't have the capacity to produce them, weaponise them, deliver them. All of which, according to the UN Security Council Resolution, was to be done with the full, unstinting and pro-active co-operation of the Iraqi Government, which of course UNMOVIC never got - Ref Dr. Hans Blix's reports to the UNSC.

Now then Peace you sign up to that as the common understanding of how things were supposed to be be and ther is a basis for discussion
