What was the real reason for Bush's insistence that the USA invade Iraq?

Question

We know that the WMD threat was fabricated. At the time there were UN inspectors looking for these weapons, and the UN offered to increase the number of inspectors by a hundred. At the very least why didn't the USA wait for the inspection to be completed?

Answer 1

Oil - the attack was planned by the neo-cons in 1996. 9/11 gave them a phony excuse to attack. The results of the inspections were irrelevant to Bush and he needed to attack before the country realized that everything was a lie.

Answer 2

This is part of a larger picture that no one in government will ever admit. George Bush and Colin Powell had made statements one year to the effect that they supported a free Palestinian state. Ariel Sharon did not like that at all, lost his mind in an apoplectic fit and demanded that Bush and Powel stop talking like madmen or he, Sharon, would singlehandedly wipe every last Palestinian off the face of the earth. As an alternative, Sharon demanded that Bush eliminate on of Israel's biggest security threats, the Iraqi Scud missiles, which had rained down on Israel in the First Gulf War. Bush and Powell promised not to talk about a free Palestinian state any more, and laid plans to invade Iraq. Knowing that they could not tell the American people that the US was going to invade Iraq to provide for Israeli defense and security, they came up with the idea of blaming it all on the Butcher of Baghdad and his weapons of mass destruction. The US could not go along with any more UN inspections because Sharon was getting set to kill off the Palestinians and Bush and Powell were afraid of the repercussions of that, so they agreed to go into Iraq and take out Saddam Hussein instead. So, once again, US taxpayers were unknowingly forced to foot the bill for Israeli defense.

The US has given TWICE as much money to Israel as it gave to the rebuilding of all of Europe afer World War 2

Answer 3

The plans for invading Iraq have been accomplished a "long" time till now the form which justified such an invasion. "information"papers make up thoughts, all of us know that, properly; the television comments precisely an identical thoughts! So, the television makes thoughts up additionally. the U. S. is controlled with the aid of huge employer: that's a certainty. The mass media "are" huge employer! huge employer controls each and every thing that the human beings hear. the concepts with regard to the form which justified the invasion of Iraq is truthfully chanced directly to be doubtful on the least. huge employer, interior the U. S., did 9/11 to justify the furtherance of their schedule of international domination, and extra desirable revenue with the aid of limitless conflict, and administration over the planet's oil grant. the u . s . a . has a protracted history of utilising fake-flag-terrorism to fool it rather is human beings into helping unlawful armed forces acts. The invasion of Iraq, and the genocide of the Iraqi human beings, are the consequence of the latest US fake-flag-operation. the government in simple terms makes issues up, bombards the inhabitants with the garbage that they create, and let us know all that we help each and every thing that they let us know that we could like them to do. it rather is all completed with the aid of propaganda. the superb concern that we people ought to have is that the mass media are the biggest component of the deception equipment.

Answer 4

Iraq would allow the inspectors only inspect what Iraq allowed them to see. When the inspectors wanted to see more areas then they were kicked out of the country. This continued for many years. It was like Iraq had something to hide. When So Damn Insain celibrated 9/11, well that was the straw that BROKE the Camels back.

Answer 5

Actually, I have another question for the "Saddam = Hitler" crowd here.

If Saddam was such a dire threat to the entire world like Hitler was, how can you justify sitting there on your cowardly little butts typing messages instead of enlisting to help fight the threat? Could it be your support for the troops and America comes to a screeching halt if you're expected to do more than run your mouth?

Talk is cheap. If you want to convince me this is a fight for the very survival of civilization, you won't do it with hot air. If you want people to follow you, lead by example. "Do as I say, not as I do" only works on kids too dumb to know any better.

Answer 6

Acctually there were WMD's. Just because they don't boom doesn't mean that they aren't WMD. Secondly we sanction Saddam for 12 years but nothing happened...wait for the inspections to be completed...we did that. Thirdly, Saddam killed more people before we invaded than Hitler did before World War 2 even started but no one flinched when we attacked them and we were at war with them for 4 years with 4000000 deaths and here it has been 3 years in Iraq with just over 3000 deaths.

Answer 7

Poor judgment partially. This current situation was the logical result of an incursion.

On the other hand, since no WMD's were found, did that make Saddam and the situation there OK? for them and for us?

Anybody in that area who is anybody, wants to acquire a nuclear capability on some level.
That is like saying that the most emotional, irrational whack job in your neighborhood wants to build a bomb..........Oh and he hates YOU too!
reason enough for me.

Answer 8

we can piss and moan about Bush's intentions, but the fact is this, why we're there doesnt matter anymore, its getting us out ASAP. The middle east is a ticking bomb about to go off. The whole Israel and Hezzbolah thing started a wild fire over there. Personnally we should be in Afghanistan more than Iraq. However, according to my source whos in the Mil. Intel., told me it revolved more around Kuwait in fear of another attack.

Answer 9

The treat of WMD was not fabricated, it was simply bad intelligence compounded by Iraq's non compliance and suspicious behaviors that led to the USA leading the Iraq invasion. Oh yeah...and 14 years of Iraq violating the UN sanctions against them.

Answer 10

He waited because he hoped that he could prove it....ultimately he chose war to boost economy. The US government is richest at war but the majority of US people are poorer. Had we all known how stupid he was and how stupid we are, he wouldn't have been voted back into being president...the US public is stupid. If we could just vote by person and not by state electoral vote we would be better off.
