The reason the U.S. went to war against Iraq was because Saddam Hussein was accepting euros instead of dollars for his oil. This violated treaties and agreements made at the end of World War II. Our Government knew the populace would not accept a war for oil so they dreamed up the WMDs as an excuse to overthrow Hussein. If they had not done this and allowed Hussein to accept euros as payment, it would have seriously damaged the economy in the U.S.
Stopping Hussein was financially motivated and had nothing to do with the threat he imposed on the middle east.

to gain control of Iraq by giving Kurds power thinking to get cheep oil and move the army bases from Turkey to Iraq to control the Middle East. Russia is backing up Iran and Hizbullah to gain control of all the Middle East. So America is fighting for a dream.

Bush needed a whipping boy. Iraq just happened to be a convenient target.

Why? Well, Let's see.....Iraq did not do 9-11. Hmmmmm....No WMD.....No threat to the USA from Iraq.......There are other countries in the world with dictators ( Like North korea ) But we didn't go into North Korea...Hundreds of thousands killed in Africa.....We didn't go into any country in Africa......China is talking about world domination......We haven't attacked China.........Now you ask why.....Buddy......I don't know.

because if we leave we'll have to go back again when it is even worse. Just like this time we had to invade iraq again because we didn't finish the job the first time.

To me i understand that the President is conscious why we are combating in Iraq. i've got self assurance that we could desire to end considering that's getting out of hand. it is so complicated that we don't understand why we are combating.

Because Saddam continually broke the conditions of the Armistice of the First Gulf War, and could not be trusted.

because we want the oil fields, we should be in saudi arabia, thats where the terrorists came from, so our soldiers instead of fighting the real enemy theyre guarding oil wells in the middle of nowhere
