That's a good point, because as everyone knows, once we ousted Saddam Hussein, Israel became perfectly secure. Iraq was not only Israel's main enemy but its only enemy. That's why it's totally true that the U.S. invasion of Iraq was primarily about Israel.
I didn't say it was primarily about Israel. I said it was more about Israel than it was about oil.
Are you saying it was more about oil?
It was mainly about removing Saddam, who was a threat to peace and stability in the Middle East, for a number of reasons. One of these reasons was his assistance to Palestinian terrorists.
Are you saying he wasn't funding the Palestinian homicide bombers?
President Bush and Secretary of State Powell were at the time trying to come up with a solution to the terrorist war against Israel. For this reason, I think that this was among the numerous reasons they decided Saddam had to be removed.
It absolutely drives me nuts that you cannot discuss things on this forum without people attaching the worst possible interpretation or motive to what one says, and completely overreacting.
