8 out of 10?
Since you didn't list any of those, I'll just have to guess, eh?

Okay, no "stockpiles," can you name ONE WMD that we found? Just ONE? Do you know how tough it is to get rid of chemical weapons, AND NOT LEAVE A TRACE? But our genius little Sadman did it. Wow, he's MORE than EVIL, he's MAGICALLY EVIL. I'm sorry, but this reason 10 just leaves me snickering.

Okay, move on to reason number 9: Sadman as "a threat to the region!" Right: no missiles and no REAL air force. About as much threat as the bogeyman. That's it! He's a magically evil bogeyman!

Let's see now, what could number 8 be. Could it be the "Nigerian Uranium?" Right, about as valid as the Nigerian General who wants YOU to help him get his MILLIONS out of the country! All he needs is your bank account number! OMG! You DIDN'T, did you?

Hmm, what could the 7th be. Ah, yes: Sadman was a terrorist and invading Iraq was the logical "War on Terror - Part 2." Please. I'm not afraid of the magically evil bogeyman, so I'll pass on this goofy sequel.

Lemme see, about the 6th? Oo, yeah, the "lack of inspections." Why have inspections if there is nothing to inspect?

Ah, now, what's 5? Maybe the "Liberation of the Iraqi people!" With the Sunni's pulling out of the "election" I'll just bet it's because they feel so LIBERATED. C'mon, Spooner, don't ya know the difference between a flower bouquet and an IED?

What of the 4th? Oh, yes, the infamous "unfinished business" reason. Shoulda let Stormin' Norman finish 'em off, eh? Does the phrase "that ship has sailed" mean anything to you? Way PAST time to be out on the bow exclaiming "I'm king of the world!"

And the 3rd? This is the "because we can" reason. Nyah, nyah, nyah-nyah, NYAH! We've got the big stick and we're agonna USE it! Rather than burning the Uncle Sam images, the Palistinians should just start dressing it in diapers. Real good, VALID reason, Spooner.

Now for the 2nd: the "safety of the oil." Lookit those clouds of smoke and all of the money going up in them. Yeah, we've really made the oil supply "safe" Spooner, probably took lessons from the Space Shuttle Columbia.

And the number 1 reason/justification for the war in Iraq: "Saddam is EVIL!" (My personal favorite!) Well, heck, we already KNEW that he was a mixture of Snidely Whiplash and Gandalf because of reason number 10, above! Excuse me if I yawn through this last episode, Spoonman.

I think I'll go rent Shawn of the Dead again. I found the content of that film MUCH more believable/realistic.
