Presidents do not invade countries for an ego trip.
Presidents do not invade countries to get re-elected.
Presidents do not make uniformed unilateral decisions.
Presidents do not invade countries to make some oil company richer.
Presidents and their advisors do what they "think" is in the best interests of the Nation.
I repeat:

Speaking from a military point of view it is a strategic piece of realestate.
It opens many doors for us militarily, if we need to use them, and down the road, we will feel the need to use them.
We are looking 20-40 years ahead, as the worlds oil reserves begin to dwindle.
Bottom line to invade and control Iraq is a foward thinking, major strategic move for the USA.
Everything else that comes from taking control of Iraq is just gravy.

It is the first step towards taking control of the Middle East, its oil fields, and to control a culture (by military force if need be) that is by its existence an enemy of the Western World and always has been.
