Yahoo! News - Bush Offers Shifting Rationale for Iraq War
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush on Sunday offered a shifting rationale for the Iraq war -- that Saddam Hussein had the capacity to develop unconventional arms if not the actual weapons -- and said he did not believe the more than 500 Americans killed in the war died in vain.

"He had the capacity to have a weapon, make a weapon. We thought he had weapons. The international community thought he had weapons. But he had the capacity to make a weapon and then let that weapon fall into the hands of a shadowy terrorist network," Bush said.

Now it's the capacity to make a weapon. Uh-huh.

If rationale keeps shifting like this they might have to name a new dance after it.

I spared myself the agony of watching him and listened to some nice light jazz instead.
