God, that's sick. I refuse to believe your assertion. If their personal profit was a factor, it would be so far down the list of reasons to invade, as to make it unmentionable. More likely they realized he had to be dealt with. It's too bad you have this nefarious motive at the top of your list. It's pretty gross to behold your BDS in all it's putrescence.
I would have done it differently. I would have said, "saddam keeps breaking the cease fire our troops died to put in place. Further, he's in bed with terrorists that seek to harm us. I judge the risk of his regime to be too high in this post 9/11 world."
Period.
By the way, Bush and Cheney aren't particularly good salesmen. It would be more factual to say that the American public saw that saddam was a threat and had to be dealt with.
That the democrats, for political advantage, turned their back on the war, doesn't negate the reasons for removing saddam.
