It bugs me no end that I am now this skeptical about the motivations behind nearly anything happening nowadays.
I remember Bill Clinton whining after his term as President that he did not have any big "defining crisis" to solidify his place in history - and a blue dress doesn't count.

Exactly. War is nothing more than theatre by political elites to scare the public into supporting them. The last thing getting re-elected should be anybody that allowed a war to start when they were in office. Either they've already failed at the job, or it's exactly the set up you said....
