Bush 41 went into Iraq thinking he could stabilize the region and thus oil supply and oil prices.
Bush 43 went into Iraq to get even with saddam hussein for
making Bush 41 look bad.
IMHO, the net result now will be the US begging Iran to take control of Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. Iran will not stop. A nuclear Iran eventually will expand wherever they want.
All that is happening now is just a smoke screen to give Iran time to build up their nuclear arsenal.
You’ve let the leftist shape your opinions. Iraq was well known as a safe haven for terrorist organizations, including training camps for hijackers. Taking down Saddam eliminated that threat, it also lured AQ into a fight on level terrain and low altitude (perfect for the airmobile).
Also because Saddam tried to kill his dad.
