What Bush is still saying over and over amounts to this:
“Iraq posed a threat to us (opinion), because we thought it very likely that, sooner or later, Saddam's goons would cause us harm (opinion).
Then we were attacked by al-Qaeda (unrelated fact).
So we attacked Iraq—better to kill hundreds of thousands now than to risk losing hundreds later like we had just done because we had underestimated a threat (opinion). I will never apologize for protecting America.”

Changing names and making slight contextual adaptations, the same logic could lead to something like this:
“Mr. Bush has a history of excessive drinking (fact). Studies show that children of alcoholics have greater chances of abusing alcohol themselves (fact). Mr. Bush’s daughters already like to party (fact): we think it very likely that, sooner or later, they might drink too much, drive, and provoke an accident (opinion).
Every day children are killed on the road by drunk drivers (unrelated fact).
So let’s execute Mr. Bush’s daughters—better to kill two people now than to risk losing more later, like we do every day because we let alcoholics drive (opinion). We will never apologize for protecting innocent children.”
