An article the statement was in the Chicago Tribune today and was not as strongly worded. Just like Bush started throwing in everything as the dialog continued, it looks like the press is doing like-wise. We would not invade to find another base in the Middle East. It was just a good side-effect.

I just came across this, which seems to apply. http://news.independent.co.uk/low_res/story.jsp?story=410730&host=3&dir=75 The publication seems reputable but maybe someone from Britain will let us know about that -- I am just going by the other stories on the web site. If true, well, it would not be the first time that an administration lied. The question is, does it make a difference when you go to war over the lie... And perhaps someone can explain the link to me between defeating Saddam and removing troops from Saudi Arabia. I am not sure I see how the former makes the latter possible.
