Then you explain to me why the US went into Iraq? To steal the oil from
them? Cuz Saddam threatened to kill Dubya's daddy? To build that
pipeline across the country to the Caspian Sea? (no, wait, that was
Afghanistan). Just to fill the pockets of Dubya and his cronies with cash?

I dunno about anyone else, but I'm still waiting for the explanation
as to why the US went into Iraq.

Best argument that I have heard is that we needed a place in the mideast
to put some pressure on Saudi Arabia.

But for the most part, I haven't heard any reasonable explanation for why
we went into Iraq, and I'm still waiting.

Quarterback calling the game that isn't finished yet. I'm glad this
type of whining "it costs every taxpayer $xxx" didn't happen in 1944.
Back then "Blame America First" wasn't very fashionable.

Yes, but back then we had a more limited set of enemies, and we knew
who they were. (Well, for the most part. It was hard to tell about
Stalin.)
