What were we doing there then,
and why are we there today? When we have a nation here to build.
we invaded Iraq not out of our "national security" but because we enforce the UN's rules (Unconstititional by the way)
Manipulating history, what?
Do your own homework, read a book, think laterally, deduce.
But please don't ask me to go link digging for you.
We did support him as a bulwark against Soviet expansionism during the Cold War, remember.Claiming we installed Sadaam in power when the evidence doesn't exist is an attempt to manipulate history such that events fit neatly into your argument.

Oh boy Grym, take it to pm if you must.

Pardon me but I find this highly amusing. Under the original plan the Bush administration had expected Iraq to repay the entire cost of rebuilding their country and much of the cost of providing them with security. But then the liberals started braying that we had just gone to war to "steal" Iraqi oil, so the administration bowed to Democratic pressure and let the US taxpayer pick up the bill so that we could not be accused of stealing oil. Now the Democrats have decided that they want the oil. Do you think that the press will remind them (or the American people) that Iraq would have been picking up most of the tab five years ago if the Dems had just shut up? Nope it will be be kept top secret by the press.
Quite honestly, if someone would invade Washington and remove half of Congress and most of the bureaucrats I'd thank them, possibly pay them. Apparently it is a job that too many people are unwilling to do ourselves.If another country invaded us... what exactly should I do for them again?
