Salesmanship (to the first question), and (to the second) because the powers-that-be behind the scenes have had Iraq in their sights for years and this was the best opportunity they'd have to push it through.

Of path we aren't successful. We've used up such a lot of our assets combating in Iraq and what growth we did make after we first began combating in Afganistan has considering the fact that been misplaced. We had to placed a lot more power on combating the Taliban and Al Qaida as a substitute of going after Iraq. Because we invaded Iraq, we've got allowed the truly Terrorists to head loose and preserve to acquire aid and we made ourselves much more hated within the Middle East. We might be successful the "War on Terror" if it wasn't for an incompetent President.

Well first, yes what you think they say about you behind your back, it's true!
Second, it is PART of the war on terror which includes much more than Iraq.

Because "The War Against Ham Sandwiches" just doesn't have that ring to it.

1-it isnt called the war on terror but they act like it is part of the war on terror to make it seem more legit.
2-bush wanted to invade iraq before 911 even happened.
3-bush said it himself, he doesnt care about bin laden or where he is, he was too preoccupied with saddam

That's the way that propaganda works.
The propagandist tries to connect it's target with either good or bad feelings so that the consumer transfers those good or bad feelings onto the target.
It's a propaganda technique called "transference".
If it was called the war to use American soldiers as human shields for American oil companies in Iraq to make record profits, it would not have as many supporters.

Because "The Push to Control the Remaining Oil Reserves in the World" has a negative ring to it. It's easier to convince Americans by saying "the big brown boogie man" is coming to get us.
