Now, am I rewriting history? Calling Hans Blix a failure while the invasion has failed to produce a single drop of evidence? hahaha. As you can see, yes I have plenty of "factual evidence."

If you look at the stock market downturn of 2002, everyone was going down. When did the stock market go up? You guess it. The day we went into Iraq, effective stimulating the economy temporarily. The main companies driving this economic turnaround were oil companies. If you bought any oil stock before 2002, you made profit literally overnight.

Also with fears of oil peaking, US has to secure priority to resources to counter the demand from India and China which are growing rapidly. The Iraq war is simply a product of a greater war going on: the economic war with the powers of the east.

Bush made a good move with the goal to open up US investment in the middle east. After all, you have to watch for a country's best interests. In order to make a case without causing a selling hysteria in the stock market, they had to use puffery to make their case to go to war.
