I don't think so, but I think she has a few higher-ups, including Anthony Zinni.

I'll tell you the real reason.

It amounted to the Bush Family wanting some Junior High School payback against Saddam Hussain because Saddamn went out on his balcony and fired his rifle in celebration of Daddy Bush's re-election defeat effectively saying "I'm still President of my country and you're not, neener, neener."

This insult infuriated the Bush's and was the primary motivation for both George and Jeb (it was supposed to be Jeb) to go after the Presidency in order to get payback.

Everything else was just window dressing. The real reason was "Payback".

Oh so it's not a documentary but an opinion piece.

I felt he sounded pretty dead on, you want to watch Rachel Maddow. Who is a leftwing loon without a balanced view.

My belief is that it was a long time goal of Dick Cheney to target Iraq that went back to the Gulf War days....

its a totally subjective belief that goes back to a citation credited to him in a military requirements manual that was written before 9-11 that had I to complete in the Navy shortly after the 2003 war had began. The author was mentioning the projection of sea power and had mentioned how Iraq should be contained....then the bookmark showed a reference to something Cheney had wrote.

Military Reqirements of 1C and Chief......Dave knows what I am referring to.

It was all Obamas fault. We were attacked on 9/11 because BHO is a pussy and went to war in Iraq, because he's a tyrannical dictator. I know this to be true, because some guy who goes by the user name of "Total Patriot" told me so on a Tea Party blog. It HAS to be true, because patriots have honor and never lie.

The upshot of the show was that it was an effort to ensure Saddam's oil was released into the world markets. There was a lot of (selectively edited) proof to underlie this assertion. You can be sure that Iraq would not have been invaded were it not for the fact that they controlled 10% of the world's oil. No news there.

Agreed about the oil Finn. It is a legit interest and paid for his attempts to destabilize things.

If you read the statements on Saddam by both Bush and Clinton it's obvious the plans were sitting on the shelf for a while. Our masters wanted him gone.
