The thing about Iraq is.. Sadamm wouldn't tell us anything about if he had nukes, didn't have nukes, what he was doing, etc. and keeping it all secret. We couldn't just sit on our thumbs while he might be building nuclear arms. That's why we went to Iraq.The_Mac_Daddy
And here I thought 9/11 was what was used to blindly lead the country into whatever Middle Eastern conflicts the White House wanted to engage in, but apparently it turns out Iraq would have been invaded regardless of 9/11. Well, that's not too surprising really.
"We" just happen to be at war in a country we were at war with during the first Bush's term, and not during Clinton's, a country who had a "leader" who attempted who assassinate the current president's father, a country that is conveniently close to Iran, and a country which just so happens to be involved in the oil trade (unlike North Korea, which supposedly definitely has nukes). Nevermind that precisely WHO we are at war with or what our goal is isn't even really clear at this point.
The government just happens to have awarded huge contracts to a company that was a former employer of the vice president, which surely has nothing to do with the "military-industrial complex" Eisenhower warned about. It is clearly nothing but a mere coincidence.
