Bush mentioned on at least one occastion that it was retribution because Saddam "tried to kill my daddy"

Also, I think most people fail to see the gravity in the entire operation - it was the first time in history that the US launched a preemptive war.

  I too agree the interview was very good.  I can see Moore's point
  though.  There some that believe that Bush's reason to go into Iraq wasn't
  really about the WMD but something else.  WMD was just a convenient excuse
  and the validity of the intelligence reports weren't checked because it
  wasn't the true reason for going in the first place.

  I for one, don't think there is enough evidence to support that
  statement.  I have heard it enough to believe that it's shared by more then
  a few people.  A common belief is that we went in for oil - just as an example.
