Seems like "Everyone" thinks that we went in there for oil. Why would we go in there for oil? We have Kuwait!!!
Edit: That seems very smart, invade a country to take over their oil, with no thought that France or Germany would give a hoot...far fetched if you ask me.

I haven't said (while being awake) anything about bush that I can remember
The point is that Iraq has links to Al Qaeda now, Bin Ladin and Saddam hated each other becuase their different views on religion. BL is a religion fanatic, S didn't care much about, if any, about religion and this pissed off BL. Quite interesting actually. Saddam was aksed to give UN a list of his posessed weapons and allow inspections with granted access, it took long time and as usuall he agreed one day before the (if i remember it correctly, was some time since i read those documents) deadline, this is something Saddam always did.
What grounds USA had for the invation of Iraq I'm not sure, but I'm not sure it was those reasons you state, atleast not according to those UN documents I've read over the years on this issue.
