View on War Shifts

When Bush was first elected in 2000, he was against war. Well he wasn’t totally against it, but this is what he had to say about it: "When America uses force in the world, the cause must be just, the goal must be clear, and the victory must be overwhelming.'' Although he is not necessarily talking about war here, he still saying that there must be a good reason. How can you send the Men and Women of your country to war for one thing then when you don't succeed in that, decide to be there for another reason?

Here is another example of goals shifting…

In Iraq, a new goal: eliminate weapons of mass destruction the administration insisted threatened America. But there were none.

Then the goals started shifting … get rid of Saddam.
And then … something far harder, far fuzzier … bring democracy to Iraq.
