I wonder if we will ever learn the real reason for this war. It sure as

We took down Saddam so Israel wouldn't. In that regard Hillary was
behind it 100% along with Lieberman and McCain.
The only other option was to let Israel do it on their own ... very
unlikely or to back them and that would be worse than the mess we have
now.
The US has gone far out of their way to avoid using the "I" word. That
is why they came up with the Kurds, WMD and the idea of democracy for
Iraq.

Cynic that I am, I think it was because Bush had a hard-on for Iraq before
he took office, and directed his staff to cook the intel so he could
justify his attack to the American people. That and the fact that
he had dead-ended in the hunt for bin Laden in Afghanistan.

Why even spend time in the kitchen? They don't need to cook the intelligence
when it's just as easy to ignore it.

Remember the metal tubes that were supposed to be perfect for use in a
nuclear facility? Our own scientists (Oak Ridge Laboratory) examined samples
and said "Great for artillery barrels, useless for nuclear facilities". The
IAEA looked at them and came to the same conclusion. But, Bush still used
them in his list of excuses. Remember?
