Which was an argument for the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003?
The assumed existence there of "weapons of mass destruction". As it turned out, Iraq had nothing of the kind and the CIA reports on the subject are strongly suspected to have been written with the aim to provide an excuse for invasion. The general opinion today is that Iraq's invasion was in reality mostly if not solely motivated by the wish of US Government officials to "finish the job" of the earlier US invasion of Iraq. President George W. Bush's powerful vice President Dick Cheney - Secretary of Defence during the first Iraqi invasion - was certainly among them. Other strong incentives were the hopes of installing a US-friendly puppet government in Iraq that would supply the US with all the oil it needed, making the US independent of Saudi oil - Saudi Arabia's fundamentalist beliefs, men and money being at the cradle of Al-Quaeda and Osama bin Laden, and Saudi being the nationality of many of the 9/11 terrorists. But for political and 'oil' reasons Saudi Arabia was not a conceivable target for retaliation at the time. Creating a new powerful and oil-rich US ally in the region in the form of an Iraq "liberated by the US from its dictator" might free the hands of the US towards Saudi Arabia in case of future Saudi-backed terrorist attacks. And of course - had things gone to plan - US companies such as Dick Cheney's Haliburton oil company would have made a killing in profits, rebuilding Iraq and its oil industry. As we now know, things turned out rather differently.
