Oil money Big Business money Military Arms Makers money

Actually, it has absolutely nothing to do with anything on your list. Where the heck did you get a dumb bass idea like that?
If you'd pay attention to what's happening in the world: Iraq has supported and trained Al Quata, as well as thwarted a peace deal it agreed to when it lost the gulf war.
If Iraq was not a threat, as the "left-over peace-nicks from the '60's" seem to claim, why would they even be concerned about Iraq buying weapons? After all, they claim he's a man of peace, just like Muslim Al Quata is a religon of peace, right?

Stupid liberals. Nothing in their heads but dust. *sigh*

Well said.

If we wanted oil, we could easily buy it for far less that it costs (both financially and politically) to go to war.

It is painfully obvious that the poster is myopic to the point of ignorance.

I don't know Al Quata is but you're mistaken according to out own government.

Claim: Iraq is an international sponsor of terrorism.

Reality: According to the latest edition of the State Department's Patterns of Global Terrorism, Iraq sponsors several minor Palestinian groups, the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). None of these carries out attacks against the United States. As a matter of fact, the MEK (an Iranian organization located in Iraq) has enjoyed broad Congressional support over the years. According to last year's Patterns of Global Terrorism, Iraq has not been involved in terrorist activity against the West since 1993 – the alleged attempt against former President Bush.
