The war in Iraq gives us base of operation in the region with no restrictions. The Saudi people are not big fans of us using their country as a base for military operations so why not just take Iraq and do whatever 'we' want. Same goes for Afghanistan. For the US these are two very strategic locations with many resources to use against others in the region should we choose.
