[juanpe]

For those who still think there are no economical reasons behind the invasion of Iraq, and still believe that the main reasons were the existence of weapons of mass destruction or finishing with the international terrorism, here you have some links of articles WHICH PROVE that Bush's reason were just economical:

thank you.

 

i guess i'll be reading for awhile.

 

it still makes me kinda wonder though if all this stuff is true, why haven't they impeached the Bushy-boy yet?

[juanpe]

if you think that all this may be false, why should I believe Bush is right then?

[supercanuk]

If you look at where the troops at stationed and posted, and then you super-impose where the said pipeline was planned, there identical.

[juanpe]

how can some americans still be so blind not to see this economical reason!!! Bush must be doing a really "good job" convincing some people who don't even see that he's lying to them...

[dvedder]

how about the idea that iraq wanted to move to euros for pricing oil instead of dollars?

[juanpe]

you are right, DV, that is another theory I read in some of the thousand and thousand of articles I have read since last year on this issue: since the Euro is stronger than the dollar, Americans would lose a lot of money in the exchange between euros and dollars because they would have to buy oil paying with euros...

 

again, and again, and again: another economical reason...

I don't believe that Bush lead the country into war with Iraq for economic reasons.

 

I haven't read the original posters links (and I don't really have the time to do so), but I believe that Bush and company had always planned on invading Iraq and they believed it was the moral compelling thing to do: they needed to carve a niche of democracy into the Middle East and then they hoped that the experiment would spread thoughout the region.

 

Unfortunately, their strategy is ideological and I believe they choice faith in their idea rather than in the facts presenting them. That Iraq could produce WMD's and could collaborate with Al Qaeda and others may have been a fiction, but it fit in with their ideology nicely.

[juanpe]

jmp, you SHOULD read those links, articles and much more stuff talking about it and you'll see that your "justification" may be wrong

[therethere]

if it really was for a morally-compelling reason, then lying to the American people must fit right in with their own defined sense of morals.

[juanpe]

It was not for morally-compelling reasons, thats pretty sure (the documents, studies, reseach on the issue demostrate it it not), it was for economical reasons, it was for the oil, that's it...
