People refer to a Bait and Switch routine that Our Leader is perpetrating with respect to Saddam and those pesky WMDs. That is, we went to war over the weapons, but now that we’ve found none, we’re saying this was the right thing to do because Saddam is so awful.
Some people argue that weapons will be found, no matter what, even if we have to plant them there, because we need post-facto justification. I doubt it: we can find a justification that’s harder to disprove. After all, Saddam was awful. We know it because we propped him up and provided him with weapons for so long.
