First, it was WMDs:
Iraq had no WMDs, nor did the CIA or NSA have credible evidence that they did. Iraq's longest range missile had a range of 112 miles, with only a 300 kg warhead. North Korea admits to having nukes, Syria has chemical warheads. But Iraq had oil...
Second, the al-Qaida connection:
Saddam and bin Laden hated eachother. Saddam, a secularist, feared al-Qaida's growing influence in the region and the potential threat against his own regime. A congressional investigation concluded that there was not Iraq/al-Qaida connection. So what other excuse can there be?
Third, Iraq was in need of liberation:
After all the other lies, this is the best they have? Plenty of countries need liberating. North Korea, where a million people have died in a recent famine. Pakistan and Myanmar are under undemocratic military rule. Everyone has forgotten about Tibet. Somalia has no gov't at all to speak of. But Iraq has potentially the 2nd highest oil reserve in the world.
Whats next?
