What exactly are you asking? The Iraq war was based upon a lie(s) told to the American people, by GWB and his administration in the hope of getting the voters to demand that America enter Iraq and begin military operations in the hope of finding WMD - which were never found! Funny thing is GWB relied upon the CIA for his most needed information and the information the CIA shared with him was in error. Saddam Hussein and his cohorts were charged, tried, sentenced, and hung in front of the Iraqi people. The TV coverage, although didn't show the hanging, showed that the Iraqi all happy about Hussein's death, but now I need to ask, were they really happy or was the group the TV cameras showed just a bunch of really great actors? Now, on TV news coverage, it shows a lot of Iraqis wanting America to leave. And yet we remain! How much sicker can we get????

9/11 happened.
Bush was planning on Invading Iraq anyway, but used 9/11 as an excuse to invade Iraq. Claimed it was for WMD's when it wasn't (there were none there).
We invade, at first things are going good.
Then Bush and his buddies completely mishandle post-war iraq, there are torture camps, massacres, 9 billion dollars missing, you name it.
3 years into it Saddam is finally hanged, yay! However over 100,000 iraqi civilians are dead in a crossfire between radical Shites, radical sunnis, and the "coalition" forces.
American people are sick of being lied to about the progress in Iraq, and elect a democratic majority. The dems are working towards bringing our troops home, their job is done.
Bush wants to stay, because he refuses to admit that his war was a disaster, if we pull out he takes the blame, as opposed to the next president if the troops stay there until 2008.

George Bush justified a war by saying that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. In the long run Iraq didn't have weapons of mass destruction and it seems that he knew that and just wanted to make a butt load of money for him and his cronies by outsourcing a lot of things to Haliburton.

If we don't defeat Iran from taking over they will have a significant share of oil and destroy the western economy, just that simple...

We are not accomplishing anything, while our soldiers are dying, and while people at home are being killed, loosing food stamps from the government(so they can have their war spending), and having their social security numbers stolen because the government put them on their website.
