In the above link the majority of people said OIL....
However, the "horse's mouth" ie http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/FactSheets/OperationsFactsheets/OperationsInIraqBackgroundBriefing.htm STATES..
QUOTE" In view of the Iraqi regime's failure to comply with the will of the United Nations, and based on the authority provided by a series of UN resolutions since 1991, the UK joined a US-led coalition that was prepared to use force as a last resort to secure Iraqi compliance. The Government's overriding political objective was to disarm Saddam of his weapons of mass destruction, which threatened his neighbours and his people. It also undertook to support the Iraqi people in their desire for peace, prosperity, freedom and good government." UNQUOTE
So.... WHO do WE BELIEVE?...... and...
WHO is "right"?

Re Jonquintz QUOTE YOU "
Listen mate the Americans were minding their own business on 9-11.
What would you do if someone came to your neighborhood and killed thousands of people? Just say, O' thats ok mate don't worry about it.
I would go to the SOURCE of the cause of that tragedy NOT just invade another country unjustly using such a vile act of terrorism as an excuse - which is what U.S. appears to be doing (allegedly) going by your answer ... MATE !
To refresh your memory, AFGHANISTAN is the REAL SOURCE of this war on terrorism TODAY. THAT was where U.S. troops WERE sent to after 9/11.. then months later.. "oh I know" says 1 person, "let's WITHDRAW 77% of U.S. troops FROM AFGHANISTAN and let's invade Iraq"..
The WHY has still to be legally detirmined... and is the reason for this question, along with other similar questions I have raised recently.
SIMPLE AS..... MATE !

We are in Iraq to save democracy.
Fact. No US president has ever lost an election when the country is at war.
The question is whose democracy are we saving.
Blair is morally and personally responsible for every single British soldier killed or injured in Iraq.
For the sake of the ordinary Iraqi people. Vote Nationalist at the elections.
Not to do so is to condone what is happening in your name.

If non-compliance of a UN security council resolution means you have to go to war to enforce, then it should be approved by the General Assembly and not a select few.What about non-compliance by Israel and N Korea?When the so called evidence of WMD were put forward,even an idiot could see that War had already been decided by the amateurish and clearly very unscientific way the "evidence" was presented.

I would say believe the truth-and yet about pulling out of Iraq at this point-the Terrorist will take over and have their own base of opperation to their sworn purpose of killing the infadels that stand against Islam -including all that believe Moses (that "There is no forgiveness of sins without a pure blood atonement.") Which these certain muslims feel will get them a pass to heaven by their good works-which makes Jesus a liar and His promised salvation a lie-Isaiah 9:6 "Unto us a child will be born and a SON given, and He will be almighty GOD, and the prince of peace." HE will lay down his life to make atonement for our sins-Isaiah 53
not as in the past=
well if we recovered from the disgrace of adultry and lies about it in the white house, we can probably recover from a man that married a woman and honors her without adultry. Iraq is how you spell it-if your above the 5th grade
If we blame for the garbage man being late to pick up garbage-we can blame God or anyone for everything in America that is done against the Jesus that says -one man for one woman in thankfulness and not in unthankfulness worshiping the created instead of the creator turned over to a reprobate mind as Romans chapter 1 says, yet 1st Corinthians 6:9-13 says and such WERE some of you but you have BEEN CLEANSED by the BLOOD OF JESUS. AND if we reject God from America as a nation-the athiests who have no set rule will make their own rules-are you ready for that-will you be ready to be arrested for being a chickenphobic for saying a man should not marry a chicken?
they who honor God recommend you to have a genuine testimony of salvation in Jesus amazing grace to make it last. Otherwise you are marrying a person while you worship someone other than God. How I got this I prayed, Jesus I am sorry for my sins-even one lie which separates me from you, come into my heart and help me, be my friend, amen.
this is recorded to happen in Jesus legal last will and testament=Revelation 3verses19&20 "I LOVE YOU, REPENT FROM YOUR SINS AND BEHOLD I KNOCK ON YOUR HEART DOOR TO COME IN, AND HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU AND YOU WITH ME." John 3 repent from sin and be born again, to see the kingdom of heaven. Why not make it heavenly for Iraq too instead of the threats when the question came up -
Does Islam have terrorism-like January 2006 golden mosque and the vengence after with Sunnis killing Shiites blowing up each others mosques and dragging people into the streets and murdering them-as recorded in the New York Times news paper after one year still at hand.
WILL be praying for you and best wishes too, David with reason to offer true freedom to Iraq regardless of our going there to stop its past terrorism murdering local nations and its own people in mass destruction-good question and thanks.

bush is not building a new whitehouse in iraq that i know of nor, does he have any plans to install himself as their new president. are we allowing american companies to seize control of iraq's oil fields? no, we are not. does the oil rationale really hold water? of course, not.

It's all smoke and mirrors. the reason we're in Iraq is because it was GWB's private agenda. for revenge, for making a historical name for himself, for defining his presidency.
