So no WMD, No Nuc program, and no 9/11 connection
Just why did we go there?

Why did we go into Iraq? "Because that man tried to kill my daddy," according to Shrub.

Because Iraq "sits on a sea of oil." (Wolfowitz)
When is the undeniably atrocious liar Cheney going to be brought up on charges?

No WOMD, no "nukler" program, no connection with 9/11 but....
Oh, there was that carburetor that was buried in some guys rose garden....
Maybe the administration was trying to pump up Iraqs slumping flower market....you know, they were going to be tossing all those flowers at the liberators, what better way to help with a struggling flower market...

I thought it was because his poll numbers were slipping or was it because Cheney needed to pad his pockets and get Halliburton all those oil contracts.......

Actually, does W not recall how he's repeatedly asserted (as Rumsfeld, Perle and others have) that Saddam and the mostly Saudi 9/11 hijackers were linked??? How stupid does he think Americans are (a rhetorical question, really)?
Time to follow Time Warner's lead and send a(W)ol packing!

“After the attacks of September the 11th, 2001, we will not allow grave threats to go unopposed. We are now working to locate and destroy Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction. This is a historic moment. Just over a month ago, not all that long ago, a cruel dictator ruled a country, ruled Iraq by torture and fear. His regime was allied with terrorists, and the regime was armed with weapons of mass destruction. Today, that regime is no more.”
— President Bush, Speech to workers at Abrams tank plant in Lima, Ohio, April 24, 2003.
“The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on September the 11, 2001 — and still goes on. That terrible morning, 19 evil men — the shock troops of a hateful ideology — gave America and the civilized world a glimpse of their ambitions. They imagined, in the words of one terrorist, that September the 11th would be the ‘beginning of the end of America.’ By seeking to turn our cities into killing fields, terrorists and their allies believed that they could destroy this nation’s resolve, and force our retreat from the world. They have failed.”
— President Bush, aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, May 1, 2003.
“The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that still goes on. al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist networks still operate in many nations. And we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend our homeland and, more importantly, we will continue to hunt the enemy down before he can strike. No act of terrorists will change our purpose or weaken our resolve or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory.”
—President Bush, Weekly radio address, May 3, 2003.
