And to get people behind his choice, Bush was, at the very least, reckless and careless with the case he made for war. Since enough Americans have seen The Princess Bride to know that a land war in Asia is a dicey thing, Bush had to persuade people that Iraq was a threat to us. We now know it wasn't.

He was a threat. That's why the UN had sanctions.
How were we containing them? Wasn't there a need for 200K troops on the border for him to let inspectors in?
