4. It's not about the oil
Repeat: it's not about the oil.
Not just in Iraq but in the region, upcoming global oil shortages, military presence in an area where 60% of the remaining oil is - that's not what this is about.

5. It is a US colonial outpost, much the same as the east coast

The US isn't leaving Iraq, look at the investment.

6. Because Saddam was behind the 9/11 attacks...
No, wait! It's because Saddam had weapons of mass destruction...

No, wait! It's because Saddam had plans to develop weapons of mass destruction...

No, wait! It's because the world is better off without Saddam

No, wait! It's because the Iraqi people want to be free...

No, wait! It's because the Iraqi people want democracy...

No, wait! Ahhh...hmmmm...What was your question again?

Did I mention anything about Iraqi soldiers ripping Kuwaiti babies from incubators? No, wait! Wrong lie for the wrong war...
