Is the Iraq war about?

Question

Is the Iraq war about religion or money? It has nothing to do about wmd or freeing the people of Iraq. What do you think it's about?

Answer 1

I always figured it was for the oil.

Answer 2

It's definitely not about freeing the people of iraq. Bush started talking about that AFTER the war had begun and they found no WMDs (which was what we were told the war was about in the first place).

It's all to do with money and oil.

Answer 3

The Iraq war is about two things. The first being about oil and George Bush's attempt to further enrich the investment class. And the second thing is about revenge for when they tried to assassinate George Bush Sr. years ago.

Everyone should not vote Republican or things like this will continue to happen.

Answer 4

d**k Cheney, Bushes puppet master was witnessed discussing how Iraqi oil would be split up BEFORE the Iraq war was started by Bush saying we were going after wmd. Guess what? We found no wmd and we have gotten zip oil. Surprise, suprise. I'm a Vietnam vet and my personal belief is that ALL wars are over money or religion. (The money might be territory, resources such as gold or oil or even drugs like in Vietnam - the French before us had a lock on the drugs coming out of southeast Asia and after WWII they wanted their empire back. The Vietnamese wanted their country back = war.) If you want more of the same, vote for McCain - he's already said we would be in Iraq for "100 years". (with your friends and my friends, heroes all, dying to let the rich folk get richer)

Answer 6

I think its about revenge they couldn't find Bin Laden so they went after Saddam instead.

Answer 7

i agree with hassan M's answer

Answer 8

Since you 'children' weren't around during the time the US supported Saddam against the Iranians, you would have no way of knowing that Saddam was 'provided' weapons capable of being used as WMD.

Since he did not use the devices when he had planned to, they would be in 'storage' somewhere in Iraq. Suddenly when the inspectors began looking, they were no where to be found. When the search was by the military after the invasion turned up nothing, then I can only assume that the devices ended up in Syria or Jordan or worse, Libya while we listened to the Liberals and the 'communists' argue against the invasion, stalling the original date by months.

Now some backwater country that is living 2000 years in the past has devices that will haunt the US and Allies for years to come.

It pays to remember past events and news stories....Kids...What can you tell them?

Answer 9

World domination through control of oil reserves .... SIMPLE !!

Answer 10

The U.S. made preparations for war with iraq.  on 2.6.2003 An Fleischer, press secretary again and again denied to U.S.journalists that the projected war had ''anything to do with oil''..  He ecoed what Rumsfield told on 14.11.2002.  

The sanfrancisco chronicle 22.2.98 headlined its story ''IRAQ OIL POSES THREAT TO THE WEST''

30.10.2002 -  The U.S. state depat has pushed back its planned meeting with iraq's opposition leaders on exploiting iraq's oil and gas reserves after a US military offensive removes saddam hussain from power to early December.

Generally, in the middle east, the largest oil producing country is iraq, next to soudi arabia and it is as you said nothing to do about WMD or freeing the people of iraq.  if for argument sake, is the people of iraq free now?  They are living with fear and they fear when will they bombed by the american military.  The iraq war was to eliminate saddam hussain who was stood a stumbling block for oil.  ok?
