enumerate five reason why america attacked iraq?

Answer 1

1. Oil
2. The Bush administration's failure to locate O Bin Laden, and the consequent need to distract attention from that failure
3. The restoration of the US Dollar as reserve currency for trading of Oil
4. The arbitrary desire of the Bush administration to act for the Iraqi people, without sufficient backing from the latter, in replacing the Hussain regime
5. Stimulation of the US Economy, by having lucrative contracts awarded to American industry in the post-"liberation" phase

Answer 2

1. Outside of Afghanistan, Iraq is the one country that we had legal standing to attack. Saddam repeatedly violated the treaty that ended the Persian Gulf War, thus negating that treaty.
2. We needed to keep the initiative and continue to take the fight to the enemy. Without this second front in the War on Terror, the rest of the terrorist supporting regimes would not take the war seriously. Everyone knew we were going into Afghanistan, and now least we forget, we don't need to go into Libya. The good colonel turned over all of his WMD programs and renounced his ties to terrorists without firing a shot.
3. Saddam's WMD programs. We know they existed. He used them against the Kurds in '88. What was being inspected in the '90's during the Clinton administration? Why did Clinton order the largest air strike in history against Iraq?
4. Liberation of the Iraqi people.
5. Stabilization of the area. Even the other Arab countries were afraid of Saddam, including Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait.
PS: If we went in because of oil, why are paying over $3.00 a gallon for oil? Wouldn't it be smarter to increase production of oil to make the price drop and make voters happy? For most of you who answered this question, try looking at the facts, use your head and stop simply repeating what you hear on the news. We are not the bad guys in this war.

Answer 3

Do the 20,000 Kurdish women, children and old men count as one reason or 20,000 reasons...let's say it counts as one.

2. the potential threat of WMD...which we never found, but had rumors of trucks leaving for Syria just before the war.

3. to finish what we started in the 1st Bush administration, after Saddam's war of aggression against Kuwait.

4. Knee jerk reaction after 9/11, we had to attack someone....i didn't say this was a good reason, but its true.

5. and the number 5 reason we attacked, we wanted to protect the oil from, among others, the Russians/Chinese.
