Why did George Bush organize an attack on Iraq to find weapons of mass destruction and so far have found none?

Everyone keeps yelling about Bush. All this s**t is bigger than Bush. Go behind the scenes: PBS Frontline: "The Dark Side"

"After 9/11, Vice President Richard Cheney seized the initiative. He pushed to expand executive power, transform America's intelligence agencies and bring the war on terror to Iraq. But first he had to take on George Tenet's CIA for control over intelligence."

Whatever! You are watching too much Michael Moore! Stop watching the liberal media's perfect paradise on earth version of life in Iraq. Do you think that anyone in a highly controlled dictatorship would dare look unhappy in front of a camera. Read up on the Nazi's and Germany during the late 30's and early 40's and see what I mean.

Second, when a dictator has more than ten years to come up with ways to fool UN inspectors, hiding any weapons he may have had, we are not going to find them, at least not anytime soon. Saddam was no idiot. We only told him a thousand times that we were coming... which was the same as saying to a teenager, "Quick, here comes my mom, hide the weed!!"

What is happening in Iraq is not always what we are being fed. Most people are very happy that we have done something. The ones who are not... are killing our troops everyday. This is an ugly situation that I don't believe that we can solve. It is a deeply rooted religious issue that our government cannot fix. It is true that we should not have gone in to what we have done, only because of the massive power struggle in the Islamic factions that has been a result (something that Bush senior knew by the way, which is why he stopped short of taking him out). Stop believing what you see on CNN or any other conspiracy rich programs.

I like how the morons always say oil, but we have yet to see one f-ing drop of it. If it was oil then we would be paying less then a buck a gallon now. Stop being so ignorant. And the weapons of mass destruction were more than likely moved to Syria but that is just a guess. As for the happy Iraq, just ask the survivors of families who were slaughtered by Saddam's regime if they were happy. Stupid people always ask stupid questions

Tired S

YOU HAVE ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION! Really well...

â™¥BUD or BUD LIGHTâ™¥

that was not a happy country. and they did have some weapons i think iran took the weapons for them. they hate us because now there own people are stirring up s--- and we have to stop it. and someone ends up hurt, just like the 911 they started it. we just finished it.and still are. clinton had a chance but woosed out.

my opinion, GW Bush was wanting to make a name for himself is all. he wanted to supposedly finish what his father didn't finish when he was in office. plus, if anyone notices closely enough or not, when things get to calm and the US gets to "comfortable", that's when a "war" breaks out somewhere to put the economy back into a depression so to speak. the government doesn't the economy doing well and thriving and that doesn't really look good when things are all balanced out. they like it when things are screwed up and people are hurting to make it, that keeps them in their positions to "find solutions" to our problems when they are the cause of our problems.

Do you really think the ppl of Iraq were happy being ruled by a ruler who slotterd un told thousands of them?? Look beyond the press and the headlines for your real answers of what;s going on and went on..

No President in American History ever "started" any war. Pres. Bush ws after Suddam Hussein who was a known backer of terrorist regimes. He had already tested weapons on his own people. DUH! We went over there to protect those innocent Iraqis that Saddam was torturing. The weapons ended up in Syria, Iran and Lebanon and now you know the rest of the story because the weapons did not get destroyed. Hezbolla, Al-Quaida and the Jhadists know nothing than to kill anyone who isn't one of them. Nice guys, eh? If you're such a bleeding heart, why not go live there?!?!

the_silverfoxx

misinformed. and one thing why they are there over . oil. my opion?

Black Sabbath

Saddam wasn't a nice or equitable ruler.. he used chemical weapons on his own people, kept death squads to keep the public in line, and kept all the money for his own ends..

Walter

Hey, we found some useless Iran-Iraq war relics. That counts, right? Oh, wait... it doesn't.

JustTim

Hmm, all that hatred from a 13 year old. Either you are lying about your age, or you are lying about the substance of your question....

Either way, you're lying about something........

It's OK AL, we know you lost, now go to sleep like a good little boy...........

MikeGolf

Why are you so stupid as to think that WMD was our only reason?

walter27282000

WMD's were found.....

Some not all were found in degraded shells......

Mustard Gas and Sarin were found.......

When mustard gas get old it breaks down into a sort of Paste,but can still be deadly.....

Sarin always remains deadly......

But I'm guessing this isn't the sort of answer your looking for.

Is it?

Happy Iraq?

Try asking the kurds if they were happy when sadam used the WMD's he never had on them.....

Franko Unamerican

Two answers

1. Oil. Enough said

2. George Bush knows that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction because he kept the receipts

Thom Thumb

Well, Iraq was hardly a "happy Iraq" - True it was a big mistake to attack Iraq, but you're wrong about them being happy, quite the opposite........
If you doubt this , please review this : Saddam's War to Hell

Yes ! On PBS!

Super Man

Geee! I wish you people would engage your brain before your mouth!
The Iraq's knew we were coming because we had to go to the other side of the world to get there!
Saddam sent the weapons out of the country, to Syria or somewhere other than Iraq!
We have found places where they making them, and parts and peices!
Places, parts, and peices means they WERE making them!

HHH

He's admitted there is no weapons of mass destruction and that the war in Iraq is an illegal one.

What Chair?

Happy Iraq. Wow, way to research. They weren't happy then and they aren't happy now. Go to this link and read it please:

Yes, it's real. I've seen multiple interviews with the man.

GDL

I have great dislike for the man. He failed us on 9/11, created a mess of a war, failed us during Katrina. The man is not a great leader.

Aussie Chick

Power, oil, votes, war-mongering. That's the only explanation I can come up with for this unjustified war.
