Actually, this war in Iraq is an extension of the first Gulf war in 91' because Saddam did not abide by 17 UN resolutions.  You could also say that the hatred Arabs have for Israel stems from WWII when the Holocaust occurred in Nazi Germany.  It was realized that the Jews had no homeland of their own and that is when the Jews obtained Israel.

There never really was a war in Iraq. There is only American intervention. The idea of an Iraqi war was a marketing campaign executed by Bush to stir up feelings of patriotism, really. Patriotism gets Presidents re-elected. So does xenophobia. So does war in the name of Jesus....

The United States invaded Iraq lead by George W. Bush because they lost control of the dictator placed by the CIA under the direction of George H. Bush before he was President.

The official story on Iraq has never made sense. The connection that the Bush administration has tried to draw between Iraq and al-Qaida has always seemed contrived and artificial. In fact, it was hard to believe that smart people in the Bush administration would start a major war based on such flimsy evidence. The pieces just didn't fit. Something else had to be going on; something was missing. In recent days, those missing pieces have finally begun to fall into place. As it turns out, this is not really about Iraq. It is not about weapons of mass destruction, or terrorism, or Saddam, or U.N. resolutions. This war, should it come, is intended to mark the official emergence of the United States as a full-fledged global empire, seizing sole responsibility and authority as planetary policeman. It would be the culmination of a plan 10 years or more in the making, carried out by those who believe the United States must seize the opportunity for global domination, even if it means becoming the "American imperialists" that our enemies always claimed we were. Once that is understood, other mysteries solve themselves. For example, why does the administration seem unconcerned about an exit strategy from Iraq once Saddam is toppled? Because we won't be leaving. Having conquered Iraq, the United States will create permanent military bases in that country from which to dominate the Middle East, including neighboring Iran.\nThis Is The Real Goal Of USA In Iraq.

In my opinion, Iraq isn't involved in a civil war. It's involved in a US-induced revolution.

We had to square off with them over Tiawan.  They insisted that it was a part of China.  However, the Tiwanese didn't want to be a part of China.  As a result, we are in a cold war with China and North Korea.  We started the war in Iraq to keep them from having the fuel so that they wouldn't be able to wage a long term war.  That's why the Russians are piping oil to them as we speak.  Bush was financed by oil barons in the U.S. whose sole intention of electing him was to create this situation so that they could sell their oil for 3 bucks a gallon.  The Saudis were squeezing them out of business so they created an oil shortage to re-establish control by not only rigging the last Presidential election  in Ohio, but doing it in Florida 4 years before.  Bush has never been elected.  It's all a lie.  I hate him.

Correct Lincoln started the war unconstitutionally. It was never declared a war by Congress. Lincoln ruled as a dictator according to his own hateful whims. Thus always to tyrants.

This war in Iraq was planned by Bush, Cheney and Rumsfield even before the election of George W in 2000. They were just waiting for the right "excuse" to invade Iraq and 9/11 gave it to them. Justification for the war was fabricated by faulty intelligence of WMD and we are now paying the price for rushing into a war without the careful planning of what would happen after the overthrow of Hussein.Isn't it strange how we have to approve an "emergency budget" even years after the invasion occurred? Good planning all around and we will be a military prescence in Iraq(Iran??) for years to come.

No, it has never been proven that Iraq had anything to do with the 9/11 attack.  On the other hand we know that  Saudi Arabians made up the majority of those actually involved in the attacks that awlful day.  Our invasion of Iraq has cost the USA many of our sons and daugthers lives and wounded thousands, changing their lives forever, on top of that thousands of Iraq's citizens have been killed and thousands have fled their homeland since we went in to make their lives BETTER....  Now we have created a terrorist haven and brought Iraq to the point of civil war and the present administration does not have a clue as to how this all can be resolved.  They had done so little research about Iraq that they thought we would be welcomed as liberating heroes and the battle would be over when we stopped bombing.  Now three years later the situation in Iraq is worse not better.  What a mess!!

He's a WAR president and he has said that himself.  He likes going to war to resolve his problems.  Ask yourself this.  WHY are we in Iraq?  Did Saddam Hussain have ANYTHING to do with the terror on the USA? He's trying to be like his father.
