The claims of WMDs were shown to be wrong, and i refuse to accept that it was a "mistake" or they "vanished overnight", and the UN envoys found none themselves.

Was it really all about the Oil? Surely there must be something else?

I know Saddam Hussein killed a lot of Iraqi civilians, but the west armed him and supplied him with intel during his war (which was encouraged by the west) with Iran.

Since 2002 more Iraqis have died since the coalitions entry into Iraq than Saddam was ever held responsible for, and the country is in such a mess, economically, socially...

So my question is, why did the US and UK (and poland etc) invade Iraq?
Fish face: I thought our armies were still in Iraq and our soldier being killed? The day i see on the news we are pulling out and no more of our men will die, then yes i will be out of date.
Dcntamcn: Come on, you're not seriously saying the the FBI, CIA, MI5, MI6, and various other intelligence agiencies were all wrong about Iraq? That they and every nation in the coalition was incompetent and made mistakes?
 
the UK because Tony Blair was rimming Dubba Bush

The US because Bush, Cheney, and a few others wanted to get all they could before they left power.
otherwise it was all a lie!
 
If you refuse to accept that it was a "mistake" there's no further point in discussing it seriously. If you've already decided against the truth, I'll take my two points.
 
-Pressure from pro-Israeli lobbies & Oil.
-The excuse of WMDs was given but no smoking gun showed up in the aftermath.
