There is no doubt the war in Iraq was fought due to other geo-political issues then WMD. Oil is one of them.... the largest is stability. We had US troops in Saudi Arabia and this was causing a lot of problems, we had to move them out. The reasons the troops were there was the threat from Saddam.
So we go to war, topple Saddam - which allows us to pull our troops from Saudi and now station them in Iraq.
I think 20 years from now, it will be seen as a GREAT MOVE.... 50 years from now Historians will praise it as a great move...
Nations do not have any permanant friends or enemies, just interests.... and that is exactly what Bush was protecting and securing US long term interests.
