Alan... this sheds some light on the WMD / faulty intel. Soundcard needed.

>Bush went for Iraq rather than any of the places in Africa where genocides were happening at the time that Saddam was couch potatoing. We can go through all the same arguments about why he went for Saddam, but mostly what I hear, since the WMD's proved to be a dud is that Saddam is a monster who killed a lot of people. That excuse boils down to deciding to get the guy who used to do it past tense while ignoring the ones doing it present tense. No big oil interests in Africa.
