"The coalition did not act in Iraq because we had discovered dramatic new evidence of Iraq's pursuit of weapons of mass murder," Rumsfeld said while testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee. "We acted because we saw the existing evidence in a new light through the prism of our experience on Sept. 11."
Rumsfeld was asked about President Bush's prewar claim, now known to be based on faulty evidence, that Iraq had sought uranium from Africa before the war. Rumsfeld said one erroneous report does not invalidate the body of intelligence used to justify going to war.
Oh, but wait. I thought Wolfie said "for bureaucratic reasons, we settled on one issue – weapons of mass destruction – because it was the one reason everyone could agree on.". I guess the Pentagon isn't part of the bureaucracy?
