Why was the war in Iraq ever started?

Question

I have no idea why. Anybody know?

Answer 1

Well, prior to the war it's a known fact that George W. Bush met with Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon Mobil, and British Petroleum. There you are.

Answer 2

Let me tell you something. If there was just more sand under all that sand in Iraq instead of Oil do you really think that we would be over there. Its all about Oil my friend.

Answer 3

One word   ((((((((((((((((OIL)))))))))))))))))))))...

Answer 4

They were saying Iraq has mass destruction weapons, that's the reason they attack Iraq. but in fact, this is only the excuse they made up in order to attack Iraq for oil.  

Answer 5

This explains it all

Answer 6

Because Hussein humiliated Georgie Progie Senior, and Junior couldn't handle it. Why else would they fake "evidence"?

Besides...attacking other countries has always been a "cure" for domestic issues. Dates back centuries. The US Gov't has been using it since the 30's, if not earlier. The fact that driving a foundering economy to War Footing causes serious economic damage that takes a VERY long time to heal (the US Economy still has not recovered from the "Great Depression" in the 1930's) seems to be of no importance to the Power Brokers and Decision Makers.

Good Luck!

Answer 7

The British war against Iraqi indepence (1921-1930's) was about oil.

The Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988) was about oil.

The first gulf war (1991) was about oil

The ten-year air war and sanctions were about oil.

The second gulf war (2003) was about oil.

If it weren't for petroleum, no one would give a rat's tail what happened in Iraq.

Answer 8

The genius in The White House wanted to give the Taliban a break by diversifying our fight away from Pakistan/Afghanistan. He was successful, as look how strong the Taliban are now.

Answer 9

To divert attention away from the b******s,Bu$h and Co., who with the help of the CIA and Mossat, commited the biggest atrocity against mankind, when they organised the 911 attacks against American citizens.

You should watch Loose Change, or 911,in plane sight.

They commited this act, but weren't clever enough to cover their tracks, so turned on their former agent, Osama Bin Laden, and put the blame on him.

They also expect us to believe, that in all the ensuing carnage and debris, they found the passport of one of the "terrorists" in the ashes of the WTC. Nonsense.

They invaded Afghanistan and placed an exiled asylum seeker, Karzi to run things for them,with the British helping out.

In addition to securing all the worlds heroin supply, they then diverted their attention to Saddam Hussein, whom they funded and armed to the teeth during the Iran Iraq conflict.

America and Britain began an illegal war against the sovereign state of Iraq, deposed it's leader and had him executed,instead of sending him to the Hague as they did Milosevic and now Karadicz.

Why? because America needs oil and didn't want Saddam doing business with the Chinese.

Wait and see, There will be a "Venezuelan" atrocity in America soon, so they can do the same to Chavez, because he's told Bu$h he ain't going to give his nations' oil away.

Zionist Global Domination= War in Iraq, Afghanistan and soon Iran.

The thing is, although America can start conflict, they don't know how to finish it, How many years ago did G Dubya Bu$h stand on the flight deck of that aircraft carrier and declare..."Mission Accomplished"?... Ha Ha!

Answer 10

Oil

Answer 11

I seem to answer this question on a weekly basis.

wish I had a pound.............

I'd be a rich woman by now.

sorry anyway in answer to your question.

Iraq was over Payback & Oil, in that order.

hanging saddam was the ultimate in payback for an assassination attempt on Bush Snr in Gulf War 1 & the lucrative Oil contracts secured by haliburton ( & other personal friends of the Bush family ) speak for themselves.

A dirty war that B'liar lied to the UK people about as there was not & never were any WMDs.

UN weapons inspectors decommissioned any they found back in Gulf War 1!

& hence why David Kelly ( UN weapons inspector ) turned up dead in the woods.

He knew the facts surrounding the wrongful data & illegal invasion of Iraq.

Answer 12

U.K. and U.S.A.greed for oil !

Answer 13

Saddam the tyrant was refusing the UN inspectors access to stock piles of weapons of mass destruction. He needed time to get rid of them. G. Bush appealed the UN, and got their permission to invade. This process took over 6 months of time, but by then the Saddam had more than ample time to rid the stock piles of chemical and biological weapons. He most likely moved them into Iran.

Answer 14

OIL.

Answer 15

Which war in Iraq? The current one.  The one before this one?  The one with Iran?  Lots of reasons, need more details.
