I finally know now why Bush and Blair invaded Iraq

[Greeby]

Cheney told them to. End of story.

1. George W. Bush waged war on Iraq because, in his own words:

God "instructed me to strike at Saddam."

3. I thought it was because, "Saddam tried to kill my Dad"?

:shrug: :silly:

4. Maybe,

but he won't admit it...

5. He won't now, but he did say that. He didn't give that as a reason for attacking Iraq, of course.

He attacked Iraq because he could and his huge ego spurred him on. Plus his corporate backers wanted it. Many reasons for attacking Iraq for george and none them were warranted or just. He will have to live with that and hopefully, one day, he will pay for it.

2. And Blair got in because Great Britain can't let go of it's...

...memories of Middle East-stomping.

6. The only excuse left for Bush: "I invaded Iraq because it's there"

to paraphrase British climber George Mallory in 1924 when he was asked why he wanted to climb Mount Everest.

The further explanation Bush will have to provide, however, is how he knew it was there, when he doesn't even know where Africa is or that it is a continent, not a country.
