We did not invade Iraq for any of the WMD, terrorist, "evil" dictator, fight Muslim jihadists, spread democracy, etc. reasons Bush gave. Those were all red herring lies.
Nor did we invade Iraq for any of the left-wing cynical excuses such as jobs for Halliburton, profits for the oil industry, revenge for "Daddy" Bush, expand Christian missions, etc. Those were just denials from people who couldn't handle the truth.
The truth is that we invaded Iraq solely to steal Iraq's oil distribution rights.
We were so motivated in response to Saddam Hussein's promise in the fall of 2002 to divert our Iraqi crude to China as soon as the sanctions ended that prevented him from choosing new trading partners. And those sanctions were about to end ... when we invaded.
Had we not invaded, the loss of that essential, special, light, sweet Iraqi crude, for which there is no available compensational alternative supply anywhere in the world, would have spun us into a a severe economic depression and taken our "industrial" allies with us.
So we spent many billions on the invasion ... to prevent the loss of many trillions -- pure national economics, as usual.
In the process of stealing Iraq's oil distribution rights, we predictably slaughtered and contributed to the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians, nearly half of whom were children with a median age of eight years old.
That makes us murderous thieves.
That makes our "troops" henchmen.
That makes Bush a crime boss.
This is the truth.
There was no other reason that caused us to invade.
Though the result of our invasion may appear to have accomplished some "goals", those "goals" were not the intent of the invasion -- they are merely functions that appear to have occurred as a result. It is important not to mistake function for intent, or you succumb to the liars' brianwashing manipulation.
Also, the "goals" are fleeting. When we are forced to leave Iraq and give back what we stole, all those mirage intentions will simply vanish!
That's why Bush -- and his successors, be they Republican or Democrat! -- have no intention of ever leaving Iraq.
Iran knows this -- every world leader does.
And our continued presence there is just as unpalatable to Iran as a Chinese invasion of Mexico would be to the U.S.
