The truth is we were attacking Iraq because they were our easiest target over there and not liked by the rest of the middle east so we could take them over with the least reprucussions, and gain a deal on their oil and oil contracts. But that was just the begining, the bigger picture was to setup a forward base of operation right in the middle of the fucking middle east so we could get directly at Iran, cutting Iran's nuke program will have two effects, 1 it will shut them down from owning nukes, but bigger than that, they are North Korea's #1 customer and we will have eliminated N Korea's #1 customer and their outlet for selling their systems. It pays to be informed, all of this is going to be interesting since we still aren't going after the money supply which is Saudia Arabia, and if we never go after the money, we'll never slow terrorism down. When Bin Laden said he was going to take down America too many of you dumbasses took him literally. All along his plan was to gain control and power of Saudia Arabia and their oil and money as well as the two holyiest muslim sites and he's doing it and we aren't stopping it because of our own greed.

Reasons for war.
#1. Iraq was defeated on the field of battle and signed certain terms. Iraq has been in violation of those terms since they signed the terms in '91. The USA has demanded that those terms be complied with and that Iraq remain a defeated country.
#2. Iraq attempted to assasinate a former American President.
#3. Iraq has fired upon, almost daily, for almost 11 years, USA military forces.
#4. Iraq is believed to have, or are acquiring, or are attempting to acquire WMD's. The USA will not allow that.
#5. Iraq has, on multiple occassions called for Americans, to be killed where ever they are found. Thus they are a sworn enemy of the USA.
#6. Iraq is a strategic piece of real estate for future military operations against our enemies in the region, which number in the 100's of millions.
#7. Iraq is a strategic piece of real estate for its oil fields and for the surrounding oil fields, for as the worlds oil supplies dwindle the USA will be in a position to control the dwindling oil supplies for its use and the use of its European allies.
#8. A take over of Iraq sends a very powerful signal to the other countries in that area of the world that if they don't get their act together they will be next.
Any one of the reasons above is a reason for war.

I posted that long before the invasion of Iraq. Pay particular attention to #6-8.
It is my belief that #6-8 are the driving force behind the invasion of Iraq. If I am correct...what would have been the reaction of the World if President would have stated these reasons?
The majority of the American people...I do not believe would have had a problem...if the President would have stated reasons 6-8..but approval may have been lessened.
