What " situation " ????
What needed " protection " ....
The main reasons for the Iraq invasion ( oups, liberation ):
- Oil reserves
- Saddam was to change from US$ to Euros for his oil dealings, weakening the US currency
- Pressure in the UN to drop all sanctions against Iraq, allowing Foreigners to step in and do business ( not Americans, just like Cuba ).
- Saudi Arabia incertainity about the US bases that were to be " temporary : need of new real estate.
Nothing was to protect, or liberate, or democracy ... that is all the wrapping paper ...
