we needed a place to base operations. Iraq had all the things we needed.. a mistreated populace, chronic poverty, a president with a price on his head, and a location smack dab in the middle of the enemy's heartland (geographically speaking).
We thought, hey we'll topple this guy install some goons of our own choosing, and be in friendly territory from which we can launch 20 years of assaults into countries that are too afraid of us to ask us to stop, or stupid enough to goad us into really fukking them up.
Of the 3 appearant goals, only 1 was a total failure. We're still launching attacks on countries we're not at war with. They're still stupidly lead and filled with cowards and winers.
Our relationship with Israel is only giving the sand worshipers a rallying cry that they can put a local face on. I say we give them Israel and take Kuwait, UAE, and South Eastern Iraq give that to the jews to call home and see how they like them apples.
