Oil war: 23 years in the making
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article1...
This war, say analysts, is about power and oil. It's about control of the Gulf States by means of strategic Iraq and, by extension, a final post-Cold War shakeout to give the U.S. more economic clout over China and Russia by controlling the oil spigot.

Bush Cabal Plotted War on Iraq Years ago
http://globalresearch.ca/articles/FLO404B.html
A well-planned, politically solid session of the World Tribunal on Iraq took place April 15-17 in Brussels, Belgium. The hearings showed that key Bush administration members planned aggression against Iraq starting years before the war was launched.
Key organizers and activists from throughout Europe attended the full event, with representatives from other continents. This hearing was the first major step in a growing international effort by organizations in many countries to consolidate charges against the Bush administration for war crimes.

Wolfowitz: Iraq Was Not Involved In 9-11 Terrorist Attacks, No Ties To Al-Qaeda
http://www.liberalslant.com/jl080703.htm
"Golly is our face RED! I mean, here we invaded Iraq 'cause we thought they were behind Al Qaeda and helped out with 9-11, and turns out we were wrong. Really embarrassing because we made the same goof with Afghanistan, invading them because we thought they were behind 9-11. Oh well, these things happen. Nobody is perfect. But you see, it wasn't Iraq; it was Iran, you know, just goofed on that last let… What? Oh. (ahem) But you see, it wasn't Iraq, it was Saudi Arabia. That's it. It was Saudi Arabia, and we have to invade them now.
Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, one of the main architects for the war in Iraq, admitted for the first time that Iraq had nothing to do with the September 11 terrorist attacks, contradicting public statements made by senior White House and Pentagon officials whose attempt to link Saddam Hussein and the terrorist organization al-Qaeda was cited by the Bush administration as one of the main reasons for launching a preemptive strike in March against Iraq.
