Back when all of us here knew it was a phony/whatever, and Shrub-CHEENEE kept rolling out, every week, a NEW "reason" for the Iraq Attack... ("Saddam tried to kill my DADDY!1"
Yet, WE all knew NOT.
Well, back then, the local radio wingnut actually spoke the truth: "We need to kick some (ethnic) butt!1"
So now, lo, these many years, the REVISIONIST Rethug machine is in gear, and they're omitting the ethnic identity.

[font size=5]Former Bush Official: We Went Into Iraq Because 'We Were Looking For [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Somebody's[/FONT] Ass To Kick'[/font]
New York Times reporter Peter Baker is out with a new book that reportedly reveals some eyebrow-raising details about the Iraq War.
A senior official from former President George W. Bush's administration is quoted in Days of Fire: Bush and Cheney in the White House saying American troops went into Iraq because the U.S. was looking for a fight.
"The only reason we went into Iraq, I tell people [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]now[/FONT], is we were looking for somebodys ass to kick. Afghanistan was too easy," the anonymous official said, according to Politico.
