My impression is that Iraq was part of the whole 'war on terror' idea from the very beginning of the Bush error administration, and that they were looking high and low for any reason to invade Iraq.
And that the aftermath from 9/11 gave them the opportunity to gin up the "Iraq has WMD" thereby coercing the frightened public to go along with the invasion.
would be at war in Iraq and Iran and said so publicly as far back as 1998. I had friends that have since asked how I knew, I said remember that copy of PNAC manifesto I gave you? Did you even read it? You would have known if you had. We went into Afghanistan for the oil pipeline as much as the opium supply for the DEA distribution network too.
