Iraq War laundry list of reasons

From dKosopedia

The Bush administration's rationales for the war on Iraq were originally identified by University of Illinois thesis, Uncovering the Rationales for the War on Iraq: The Words of the Bush Administration, Congress, and the Media from September 12, 2001 to October 11, 2002

Later on an hilarious Yahoo article: Breaking News! Condi Announces 24th Iraq Rationale we see the sad but true fact that Bush's lies have changed 24 times so far...

Note that not ONE of the official reasons mentions the very REAL incentives of Oil and war profiteering.

Update [2004-10-18 14:26:47 by lawnorder]: #25 - Oil for Food : Cheney's lamest excuse yet: Abuses in the Oil for food program. Doesn't he know that Oil for Food scandal has Texas - And Halliburton - all over ?

2005 - Reason #26 - To allow Iraqs to decide between vote or starve... Food rations to Iraqis were said to be witheld if the recipient couldn't prove he/ she voted.
