I see this mentioned in pretty much every single thread involving the Iraq war 'The US only invaded Iraq for the oil'.

Is there any evidence at all that this is the case? I haven't really seen any yet and am just wondering where everybody has gotten this from.


No... actually the evidence that I read seems to suggest that George Bush was largely tricked by a few key whitehouse players and his own wishes into believing Iraq was going to develop Nuclear Weapons as part of a plan to have a stablizing force in the middle east where we could deploy troops from.  Afterall Bush did have reasons to invade Iraq.

That was a while ago though... so I can't really remember where i got that from at the moment.  I'll check it up.

Think it was a book though.
