    that we wanted to secure Iraq's oil supply and free more of it up to the open market to make sure our gas bills are cheaper, and also establish a stronger military presence in the region to interact with Iran if need be. When you put it like that, it's a lot harder to justify spending trillions of dollars and killing hundreds of thousands of people.

Wait a minute, those all sound like much better justifications of the war than what we got.
