Well, did he forget his reasoning in 2002 when deciding whether or not to unilaterally invade Iraq? What changed his mind and why would 9/11 have caused him to rethink his position? Could it have anything to do with having an administration in place that would give all the contracts to his cronies?
That was a great bit on Jon Stewart last week.
Spot on.
