I think that's right. But did they A) fail to offer a good-sounding reason? or B) did they offer it and fail to communicate it well? or C) did everybody decide not to listen?

Bush stood days before the war's kickoff, at the American Enterprise Institute and spent, yes, half of his speech talking about WMD but the rest of it about the ^ goals, at least 1-1, 1-4, 1-6, mostly about the notion that success in Iraq would produce transformational change in the middle east. It hasn't so far. Fail. But they did talk about it, over and over and over, and everybody just bellowed Where Are The Weapons of Mass Destruction.
