Much of it is pretty funny, but there's one point that's in error...

Really? This is belied by Bush's prewar speeches, which cited WMDs but also declared America's intention to create a free (read "democratic") Iraq.

I don't think that it was a mere oversight that President Bush evaded the word "democratic" for more than a year. It was wise not to promise "democracy" when we weren't sure what the majority might want!

Freedom, however, can exist without democracy...just as a democracy can exist without freedom. Unfortunately, the Administration eventually threw caution to the wind when things looked good, and now they have used the D-word.

That assumes that the people your are talking about are cynical, calculating, unprincipled, and amoral. That does not describe George Bush or the people who support him.
