What is the main reason why we are fighting in Iraq?

Question

-to secure our safety

-to secure the middle easts safety

-oil

-finding bin ladin

I thought that the main reason we were over there is to find Osama Bin Ladin, but now I am not sure.

What is it?

I never hear people talking about it.

Answer 1

oil..and my opinion Osama is a coward...because of that idiot the world view on Islam in the wrong way..

Answer 2

The decision to invade IRAQ is clouded on many subjects! Initially, the way IRAQ denied their existence of WMD and the continued UN inspectors visit and their mounting pressure by way of sanctions did raise the doubts IN THE WHITE HOUSE of a possible war by the AL-QUIDA (of Mohamed Osama Bin Laden) with a huge military support from Iraq threatening the OIL SHIPMENTS worldwide from the GULF countries, triggering a world wide crisis and weakening America, economically! Added, the threat of new weapons development in Iran which makes massive supply to the Hamas and Hezbollah's in Palestine may get also involved to have a serious conflict with Israel which may all likely to get out of hand with huge confusion to surround making all the leaders of other nations voicing concerns and may even finally press for a settlement in favor of the Iraq and Palestine, making the AMERICA politically weak on its hold in the power games of the Middle East!

It may sound a bit confusing but the fast developments in the regional conflicts could flare the political issues and the economic issues get out of hand and to get shaped so differently which NO STRATEGISTS have understood so clearly to take any timely preventive action! The combined effect of several factors to contribute to some serious developments were foreseen and the WHITE HOUSE WAS WARNED OF ITS CONSEQUENCES which led the President and his office to tell on the WMD's in IRAQ so fraudently but so convincingly to the people and led to this mindless and hopeless war, which has written the darkest pages in US history to date!

Fail to bring the changes in Iraq in it's own way, now the US has no option than to leave it to decide its own course of political settlement between warring Sunni and Shia community and for its development!

Do You Know About America and the MDR Syndrome

http://rewardofrape.blogspot.com/2008/07...

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Are the Americans suffering from the MDR Syndrome? Must be! They even do not respect free speech, let alone democracy. They removed most innocent question like this one called “Yahoo question”.  

Iraq Was Invaded to Secure Israel and Israeli security guard d**k Cheney confessed that Iraq pullout would hurt Israel.

Israelis control America! As a result the USA misused and abused veto power and the extent of the blind folded illegal and immoral American support resulted in A list of UN Resolutions against "Israel". Ultimately, Israel's lawlessness made the UNO virtually useless and unworkable.            

MDR Syndrome: People who love to rape their own mothers or daughters for the satisfaction of their mistress called Israel are considered to be suffering from the MDR Syndrome.  

Americans have been earning hate and condemnation for Israel and now they are embracing the newly recognised MDR Syndrome! Do you know why?  

Now the Americans are allowing Israel to use Iraqi soil to nuke Iran!! What a madness?! I think only people who are suffering from the MDR Syndrome are capable of this kind of insanity.

The Enemy of Mankind is Israel, Why do we have to suffer for Zionist Israel?, Why the h**l we are tolerating this terrorist state? and We Got the Right to Punish Israel; the article below supports the fact that the whole world earned the right to eliminate this terrorist state called Israel. They are a threat to world peace and enemy of mankind.

Answer 4

The reason the United States invaded Iraq because we felt that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Answer 5

I think its all a lie, They want you to think its about oil but even before Bush was in the house, we didn't have that problem. I Think real reason is to get people to do what the American government what them to do.  All this war is about forming a One World Government, and have a One World Army. Everyone probably knows that the North American Union will begin in 2010.    They have already designed the RF ID chip. Which  is a Chip that keep track of everyone, and to keep eye on  them, they would know your every move, and all your personal information on that one chip.  To some people it is said that the chip is the mark of the beast.  In revelations, it says that without that mark no one will be able to buy, or sell, or have jobs.  And that mark is know to have the number of the name of the beast which is 666.  They say now that the chip optionally and is for safety reasons, but soon it will  mandatory and also be used to participate in everyday activity, like drive, shop, or have jobs etc.  Without that chip you will be found as a terrorist, and we all know what they do with terrorists.  If you get out of line, they say they will just simply turn the chip off.  As a one world government this will be a way to keep everyone in line.  I'm completely against it.

Answer 6

short answer---Colin Powell advised Bush before the invasion, "You break it, you bought it.'

we have an obligation there. Things are going better lately, but if the democratically-elected government wants us to have us establish a timetable for withdrawal, attention must be paid.

Answer 7

Good question!

Although that's kind of sad that you don't hear many people talking about it.  They should be!  Our guys want to come home, not fight a war for:

Let's see.. When it started, it was because Saddam was harboring 'Al quaeda' fugitives..

Then he had "WMD's"..

Hmm - Then it was a 'war on terror'...

All along I've thought it was to secure their place in the Middle East.. I don't blame them, but the truth should come out..

Oh, yes, and the Oil, but we can't talk about that, of course.

Answer 8

I believe it was to secure our safety, since Saddam was still in power and obviously he was not a good man. Then, Bush thought there were WMD so I think that was just another reason to gain support for the war, but I don't think that's the real reason we went.

And I just wanted to say something to Laurenalena:  It really irritates me when people say 9/11 is fake. It's a slap in the face to the family members of the people who died, and all of the police and firemen who risked their lives to help others on that day. You can't deny that it happened; it wasn't an illusion. I don't care if you believe the government planned it or whatever, but at least be respectful.

Answer 9

You pretty much answered your own question.

Answer 10

In my opinion, mainly the last two you named.

Answer 11

I think the main justification for war was to get Saddam Hussein out of power because he was a strategic threat to the United States and very belligerent....kind of like the leader of Iran.

Bin Laden had nothing to do with it.

Now staying in Iraq has more to do with fighting off cesspools of terrorists and rebuilding the infrastructure so we can leave.

P.S. Anyone who denies that 9/11 was caused by Islamic radicals is an idiot or in denial.

Answer 12

we? i don't feel being part as the soldiers that are dying to keep us safe because i'm against the war, totally unneccessary

why are the american soldiers fighting for the oil? so the oil companies can sell them to us at 4 bucks a gallon? thats why people support the war? george bush and their supporters are idiots

Answer 13

we are still looking for that weapon of mass destruction

Answer 14

Kill Middle Eastern terrorists who are coming there from all over to die.

Answer 15

I don't think anyone truly knows

Answer 16

OIL I think pretty much every american knows this by now.. 9/11 was a fake so the Us could pull into Iraq and start invading them for their Oil. and the US wanted more control over the middle east.

Answer 17

It's beyond me why we're still in a country after we liberated them 5 years ago. It's time to tell the Iraqis that we're leaving now so they'd better shape up and make their country work.
