See reporting regarding WMD or any other official justification for any war.

It's just a necessary part of the military to be able to distribute information to motivate overt activities. Because soldiers and the public will not tolerate military action without moral justification. And the reality is, military activity is not based on moral issues. Rather it is strategic. For example, activities in the middle east have not been isolated instances of "preserving democracy" as portrayed. Rather they are part of a continuous, many-decade regional strategic effort related to resources, territorial control, etc.

Look at a map. Does it seem like a coincidence that the bad guys just happened to be in a small section of the world and just happened to be on either side of Iran?

In fact in some ways the roots of this conflict go back centuries.
