4. Remember it was those WMD's, and then
it was liberation,
and then it was to oust Saddam
and then.....

well ya know, I think at this point we haven't won anything except Saddam in a jail cell and his former country going to the verge of civil war because only a dictator could bring together the tribal factions and religious factions in Iraq and keep them solvent

because they had WMD they were going to use against us. No I mean they were going to give them to terrorists. No no they had weapons-of-mass-destruction-related-programs and they INTENTED to make weapons. No wait we needed to liberate the Iraqi people. No hold on it was the terrorists again. No no it is part of the middle east road to peace. Or wait...

10. To distract people from the crappy economy caused by the concentration of
wealth in the hands of a few very wealthy people...and also to achieve that concentration of wealth in the hands of a few very wealthy people through arms sales, high oil prices, and no-bid contracts for oil services and "security" companies.

17. Why we went to war
1. Because we could

2. Teach Saddam a lesson

3. Oil

4. Good politics...much easier to get reelected when there's a war going on

5. Did I say oil. Saddam was going Euro and that wasn't good.

6. Good for bidness.

7. It's a very macho thing to do.
