 Cuz We Said So: The Case For War: One Year Later
One year after the President's 2003 State of the Union address - and seven months before the 2004 Presidential election - much is being made of "intelligence failures" and "misrepresentations" of the Bush administration as it made its case for war.
This was one of the most fascinating stories of the war, and it turned out to be a pure-D intelligence failure coupled with a failure of Saddam to disclose.
The rationale of the Bush case for war was, generally speaking, "Saddam's a bad guy, he has the ability to make dangerous weapons, we know he sponsors terrorists, and we can't afford to wait until he manages to conduct an attack." When viewed this way, the facts on the ground in Iraq support this argument.

 Toll of Iraq's looting appears more serious one year after war   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
But a year after the war's March 19 start, it has become clear that the looting had a serious impact -- slowing U.S. efforts to restore electricity and water, adding untold millions to the costs of rebuilding and hampering inspectors trying to uncover Saddam's weapons.

Congress last year approved $18.6 billion to help Iraq rebuild, much of it for water systems, electrical plants and oil facilities damaged during years of neglect by Saddam's government.
