The talk in Washington during the 2000 elections was that the Bush campaign team was talking of the possibility of invading Iraq if it won the election. During one of the debates between him and Al Gore he was asked about this desire. His response was "I am not into nation building and I do not believe that America should be in the business of nation building." After the election, the buzz was that the Administration was putting together a presentation for Congress on the need to invade Iraq. This was before 9-11. This was before the sudden realization that "Iraq was sponsoring terrorism." Instead the rhetoric was WMD's. Funny, Bush accused John Kerry of being a "flip-flopper," but isn't that what Bush did as far as his reason for invading Iraq. And how did America get into this business of nation building that we were not supposed to be in.
