We need oil and the ME has what we need. Afterall, we still want to drive our SUVs, many getting only 10-15mpg - but sporting a "support our troops" ribbon. 911 and the connection to Iraq/OBL was the excuse GWB used and continues to use - read his speech from last Tuesday in NC.
If not for oil, can you explain why GWB ordered the pre-emptive invasion of Iraq - who, as we know, had nothing to do w/911?
We all know it wasn't for WMD - one of GWB's excuses.
We all know it wasn't to depose of SH, if so we'd be out of there by now - again, one of GWB's excuses.
So, was it to force their gov't to change to our way of life? That would be arrogant of us, don't you agree?
GWB floated no less than (15) excuses - which one did you buy into?
