Ultimate Bush Insider Lifts Veil on Presidency - NYTimes.com

WASHINGTON — Karl Rove, the chief political adviser to President George W. Bush and architect of his two successful campaigns for the White House, says in a new memoir that Mr. Bush probably would not have invaded Iraq had he known there were no unconventional weapons there.

Its disturbing to see ol' Turd Blossom betraying his former boss like this. We all know just like Wonderbread helps build strong bodies in 12 ways, there were many, many other good reasons for the war besides WMD. Spreading democracy, stopping an evil dictator, securing a nationally vital strategic resource, heck, the reasons go on and on. Why would Rove lie like this?

I think the lie is that Bush thought Iraq had WMDs, the rush to war was to avoid the situation where the UN weapons inspectors finished their report and said Iraq had no WMDs, that would have made it much harder for Bush to invade.
And in Bush's mind, Iraq would be a fountain of oil contracts and wealth he would be able to bestow on the GOP faithful, so everyone benefits and no real people get hurt.
