Was Iraqi Freedom really a Humanitarian Endevor?

For the life of me, I can't ever remember hearing this argument. I wish I had. I could have supported the war more if I had heard this earlier--it makes some good basic sense.

I agree with you, pax. This kills me. Being able to pull troops out of Saudi Arabia would be great. Why didn't they tell us this? I feel like they screwed up their priorities when they were trying to sell us this war. If they hadn't done this then maybe the U.N. situation would have been different--and so would alot of other things. Damn. This was a massive screw-up in my opinion.

I am curious.....

I wonder how many here would have supported the war if it was displayed as a humanitarian cause?

Not many I am afraid.

Any way you could back this up with facts?
