When the U.S. first decided to invade Iraq, the stated reason was the flagrant violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions requiring Iraq to declare and destroy any weapons of mass destruction.

When the weapons were not found, the reason for war quickly became Iraq's association with known terrorists such as Al Qaeda.

When no association between Iraq and terrorism could be found, the reason for the war shifted to human rights. For six months, Bush used the phrase “the rape rooms and torture chambers of Iraq are now closed.”

Now that we learn that the rape rooms and torture chambers of Iraq remained open during the war (just under new management), what is the next reason for invading Iraq going to be? I can't wait to find out.
