I have heard that Saddam wanted to replace the dollar theory before-and I believe it holds water.The big danger in that is that if everyone followed suit,then the dollar would no longer be the number 1 currency,and would go into freefall.No American administration would tolerate that.I have also heard Ahmedinajad in Iran is threatening the same thing.Woe betide him if he does.
I believe the real reason was to steal the oil.Americas great "friend"in the area ,Israel,also agitated for regime change through its massive lobby in the Usa.Saddam was a huge thorn in their side ,as he paid the families of Palestinian suicide bombers$25000 for every sucessfull mission.Incidentally,one of the first actions by the Americans was to turn back on a oil pipeline from Iraq to Israel,turned off years previously by Saddam.
The wmd's was a complete smokescreen.Even if they existed,how was he going to deliver these weapons?Remember the scud missiles in the first gulf war?He could not even hit Tel Aviv !
The millions to be made by US companies-Haliburton et al,was another incentive.Why else would the utilities and infrastructure be completely destroyed,if not to create huge inflated profits for these said companies,and of course all payments were guaranteed because the OIL paid for everything.It was a win win situation.
What I would like to know...What did Bush promise Blair to make him join in such a disastrous war?Over 60% of the uk population didnt want it,even with all the wmd mantras on the tv all the time.What did the US administration say to the UK attorney general Lord Goldsmith,to make him declare the war"legal" after a previous 27 different uk lawyers had declared it "illegal"
I'd just like the truth once in a while.........
