Well, it wasn't removing Saddam, WMDs, "freedom" and "democracy". What's left?

Saddam's gone, and we're still killing 'em.

No WMDs.

Only people approved by the US can run in the upcoming election, and then can only implement laws approved of by the US. That is neither "free" nor "democratic".

Having demolished the Bush excuses, all that's left is oil. Cheney was discussing drilling rights for Iraqi oil BEFORE 9-11 with his cronies.

So, it's oil. Americans and Iraqis are dying for Halliburton profits.

Arf (There are people who have run from one excuse to the other, Bow. Yep. They desperately need to believe. Can't think.)

- I'm sorry, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out the relationship between high oil prices and "grabbing" Iraqi oil. - Tom Brosz - 9/29/2004 1:15:19 AM
