no no and no

@Deleted User would you say the us had greater interests than just WMDs and terrorism?

I mean

yeah

Saddam had destabilized the middle east twice by this point, no shit the Bush at least would want to fuck him off

I don't think anyone other than literal time travelers would know shit would go south that much

Well if the US just let him do his thing

Sooner or later he'll just fuckover the entire middle east

^

That means fucking the oil supply

he did in the 80s, the 90s, it was only time until something happens in the 00s

fuck america

^

So the main interest was middle Eastern oil?

no?

muh oil

No

Main interest was defending the US oil supply from the middle East

Iraq isn't a large oil producer, anyone who thinks so has learned politics through intagram memes

the interest imo was to get rid of Saddam and clear Iraq of whatever fucking WMDs they found

But you just said he was a destabilizing factor to other nations that had oil.

I'm fucking confused rn

you worded it like Iraq had oil

that the USA wanted

Sorry, not what I meant

I meant the ultimate goal was to secure oil supply in the region

Would you agree?

50

Oop nevermind

Yeah their most main priority was to protect Middle Eastern nation's that supply the oil for the US

Iraq produces a significant amount of oil and a regime hostile to the USA threatens their partners in the region, simple as that. The WMDs and terrorists were bs.

no the war was not justified

solving things are not as easy as dropping bombs in everything

not to meantion we only went to war cause 9/11 was rigged by (((them))) when in actuality those terrorists were in saudi arabia and pakistan

the countries we trade for oil with

eeeevil jews rigging everything

omg zog u guys

>middle east an important source of oil
>Canada meaning almost half of US imports
>most of the OPEC countries aren't in the middle east

although this might've been different back in the 2000s without fracking being as relevant as it is today and such
