Do you think they pretended it was a nuke to make it seem scarier?
I don't blame the USA or Bush for thinking he had nuclear weapons, Saddam Hussein was always an ambitious man
he tried annexing Kuwait, Invading Iran, and many more. The guy was interesting
imo many people saw it as some sort of second pearl harbor, USA gets attacked, USA goes out to kick ass
except not this time
Also yeah i think they cover it up with something biggwr like a nuke
Possibly as a deterrent
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
^
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
