In a perfect world, yes. But this is not a perfect world; it's the world of politics. And in the world of politics, there is acceptable spin and nonacceptable spin. This is an example of acceptable spin. An example of unacceptable spin would be if his real and primary motive for going into Iraq was to secure its oil revenues for the US, but he instead spun it as going in to free the Iraqi people.*
I realize that some on this board may believe his real motive was oil.
