Official History
Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz were among 18 signatures on a letter to then President Clinton in 1998, which urged a preemptive war against Saddam Hussein. Of the eighteen signers of the letter; eleven held post in the Bush regime, when Iraq was invaded.
In Ron Suskin's "The Price of Loyalty" former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill confirms that ten days after Bush's inauguration the focus at the first National Security Council meeting was war with Iraq. The Bush regime was looking for an excuse to invade Iraq long before Bush even took office.
It was not erroneous intelligence by the CIA, which resulted in the Bush regime being wrong about weapons of mass destruction and a link between Saddam and al Qaeda. Former senior member of the U. S. intelligence community, Michael Scheuer has two decades of experience in national security issues. Scheuer pointed out: "We must recognize that our invasion of Iraq was not preemptive; it was an avarice, premeditated, unprovoked war against a foe who posed no immediate threat but whose defeat did offer economic advantages."
“Economic advantages” or our “national interests” in the region is a deceptive way of saying “steal their oil” The reason Muslim fundamentalist hate us is because this has been going on for decades.
Last year, Bush acknowledged that he'd have gone to war knowing the intelligence was wrong. His reason was that Saddam Hussein was a "bad man". The Bush regime would not have been able to secure public support for the invasion based on Saddam being a "bad man". Americans would not have been willing to risk the lives of thousands of their sons and daughters to remove a "bad man". Bush's propagandist convince many Americans and Congress with the threat of a mushroom cloud. Some in Congress wouldn't risk being labeled obstructionist or weak on defense. Others foolishly trusted Bush to explore all options, before invading, but he was determined to invade Iraq long before 9/11.
The invasion of Iraq was not a mistake, it was a pack of calculated lies, which resulted in the murder of nearly 2,700 of our troops and far more than a hundred thousand innocent Iraqis.
