Lets list all of the reasons Bush Jr. used to invade Iraq:
Bush and his cronies are spurting out the line, "Kerry has had eleven distinct positions on the Iraq War..." Let's list all of the reason Bush Jr. has used to bring our country to war and let 1060+ American Soldiers (plus tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians) die for no reason:

(And in no specific order)

1) Saddam Hussein had chemical and biological weapons

FALSE

2) Saddam Hussein had reconstituted his nuclear weapons program and was less than 2-3 years before having a working atomic weapon

FALSE

...Now you guys can help fill the ever growing list. I think we can break the 20 mark very easily:

6. To Liberate The Iraqi People
oh, yeah, that's right...we're going to liberate them...but we won't let them have the government THEY want...we will only let them have a government WE APPROVE OF...some liberation!!

Oh, yeah...and here's another...They were gaming the oil-for-food program to get around sanctions...

That's 2 contributions from me.

8. Don't forget the newest rationale.
Edited on Mon Oct-11-04 12:59 AM by MisterGamut
We had to invade Iraq so that we could learn about the oil-for-food scam. If we hadn't invaded, we wouldn't have learned that Hussein had wanted to bribe away the sanctions so that he could get the WMD that he didn't have but that we bought his bluff on. And it's a lucky thing we did or the sanctions that were keeping him in check would have been voted away by the UN as a result of Hussein's brilliant plan. I mean it's not like we have power of veto or anything. The plan would have worked ... or not, so it's a good thing in hindsight that we were able to foil this plan that we knew nothing about and that was doomed to failure anyway.
