...why the hell we invaded Iraq?

I'll admit I can't come up with anything that makes sense.

My guess is, as to what went behind the closed doors, is that there
were two reasons:

1. Steal Iraqi oil and enrich Haliburton, etc, and lower oil prices in
time for the next election. The old "liebensraum" (living space) concept.

2. Occupy Iraq and use it as a fixed aircraft carrier in the quest for
world dominance. The thinking goes, occupying Iraq, it will be easier
to get Saudis or Iran or whatever other nation might be "next".

Unfortunately, it turns out that the Iraqis are not eager to pump out
their oil to enrich us, and also that instead of a good platform for a
conquest, Iraq consumed much of the US military manpower to the point
that it is much harder to mount more victorious blitzkriegs elsewhere.

Yeah, how short memories become. Love how you post-flowerchild
airhead generation selectively forgets how your 60's bull**** led to
the Killing Fields and millions of dead.

Good old Adolph even appears less scary when looked at through
Pollyanna sunglasses.

How short memories become.

You'll have to do your own research, but it shouldn't be hard to find Robt.
McNamara's
admission that the Gulf of Tonkin incident was staged to persuade a reluctant
US Congress to authorize a Texas President
to escalate the war in Viet Nam. Then, as now, the Haliburton/Brown and Root
cartel
got filthy rich as a result. Filthy.

Don't misinterpret- I'm not stating that 9-11 was staged. But the invasion of
Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. Even the White House admits that plans for
invading Iraq were well under way in May of 2001, several months *before* 9-11.
(The specific charges of WMD and the implications of a nuclear arsenal *are*
fairly similar to the Gulf of Tonkin "incident.")

Yeah, I know. I replied to her bull**** so I guess you have a point
in calling her a troll.
