He officially stated about a dozen reasons. The real one is that he wants to attack Iran.

Saddam paid every family of a suicide bomber $10,000. Though he wasn't the largest supporter of terrorism he certainly backed them.
He was the easiest target to beat and save American lives by making Iraq the catalyst for political change throughout the Middle East.
A free Iraq with all Iraqi citizens receiving their fare share of oil revenue checks (as in Kuwait) will destabilize the Iranian government causing a thereat from within their own country.
Destabilizing Iran automatically weakens the foundation of the Syrian government.
These are the 2 largest contributors to terrorists. This has been the strategy from day one but the current administration cannot come right out and speak these words.
This will cause the monies flowing like a river to Al-Quaeda, Hezbollah, and Ham mas to be reduced to a dripping faucet.
The war in Iraq has been about undermining the terrorist supporting countries of the entire Middle East and is a logical step to end the source of money to terrorist organizations.
Once again...a free Iraq is their worst nightmare.
God Bless

Bush said originally that it was because they had "weapons of mass destruction" Ok, that didn't turn out to be true so he pretty much changed it to to get rid of the horrible leader they had. The real reason is pretty much as what has been said above.

He said that Iraq was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction and that Saddam Hussein had a means of transporting those weapons and we were in imminent danger of being attacked within 15 minutes.
The real reason was to gain control of Iraq's oil so he could support Israel and Saudi Arabia.
If you remember, the first thing he did was to have the oil fields secured.
