The fact that you seem to believe that the Iraq war was fought for anything other than the dominion of a strategic country and its vast natural resources is troubling. Most people I know that follow international politics as well as myself predicted that Iraq will be a disaster not to mention many analysts. There are many things that America itself has stated which discredit your theory. Unless I am mistaken the first reason for invading Iraq was because they supposedly had weapons of mass destruction. Once that was deemed to be false we were told that Saddam may have had links with terrorists and then finally it came down to spreading freedom and democracy. Sadly all of those reasons are false otherwise if the USA was truly hell bent on spreading freedom they could have started with the house of Saud and Bahrain or a number of other dictatorships which are allied to the US but that's a story for another time. |
I predicted Iraq would be a disaster.
As for domination of a strategic country and it's vast natural resources... uhhhh not really.
China has a bigger share of Oil and Natural resources then the US does.
So if the plan was to invade Iraq to make sure China could get all the oil Europe used to get and create an Iraqi regime that is closer allied with Iran
then yeah, it was a BRILLIANT success.
I can't see why Bush would of wanted to do that though.
