The big picture on Iraq and the invasion was mainly to(1) take out an unstable dictator that was reckless, unpredictable and on the cusp of or already had WMD. He used biological weapons on his own people slaughtering over 200,000 innocent Kurds. The weaponry they used in the offensive is considered a WMD. (2) After 9-11 it was crucial to have a long term presence in the Middle East and no better than an American made successful democracy established in that region by it's own people. Also for the nation to have the power to stand firmly once detached from the U.S's umbilical cord. Thus giving the U.S an ally and nearby, in-depth intelligence platform in an increasingly hostile middle East. America can no longer afford to stand by idly as foreign enemies plot to destroy innocent American civilians.(3) Oil.

∙ 16y agoThat is the $5,000,000 question, Bush and his entourage of neo conservatives decided to invade Iraq on the pretext that they had and were intending to use weapons of mass destruction, as we all know now there were no WMD's so the real reason for the invasion may never be known to us, some say control of the oil fields was the real reason.

Thank you to those who have served and are serving!

The Second Gulf War began because Saddam Hussein did not allow "immediate and unconditional" verification of his lack of weapons of mass destruction.
