Turkey Reasoning

Why did Bush invade Iraq? It’s THE question, isn’t it? ISN’T IT? Actually, THE question is when are the Sopranos coming back. But it’s THE question in the blog world.

Except it shouldn’t be. It’s a moot question. Here’s why.

Bush rates a failure for EVERY REASON you can think of. Normal reasons, please – we’re not talking about the secret discovery of the lost Ark of the Covenant. Let’s look at a few of them. Both sides. We’ll start with the administration reasons.

WMD’s
This was one of Bush’s reasons. Either there weren’t any (oops) or there are and somebody’s still got them (uh-oh).

Saddam Kills Innocent Civilians
They’re still dying.

Security
Do you feel more secure? Really? Those folks over there are really mad. REALLY MAD. At us.

Middle East Stability
THAT’S a good one.

Democracy
Hell, we can’t even get that to work here. But yes, they had an election. What happens when Hamas wins the next election? Or Saddam?

9/11
Attacking Iraq because some of the guys were from Iraq (most were from Saudi Arabia) was like the US attacking Kansas because that’s where Timothy McVeigh was living when he bombed the Fed in Oklahoma City. Besides, the mastermind behind 9/11 – the greatest mass murderer of Americans in the US in HISTORY – is still free.

Now, here are some of the left’s secret reasons.

Oil
But we had better, safer access before. I mean, if we were acquiring more oil, wouldn’t the price per barrel go down?

Revenge for Dad
This one may pan out, but if you ask me, ol’ Saddam’s getting in a good laugh or two before he goes. And if civil war really breaks out, he might just slip by.

Distraction
Kinda like getting people to stop paying attention to your mistakes by running around naked with a sign on your back that says “LOOK AT ME, I’M AN IDIOT.” If only the Democrats would notice.

Secret Euro Conversion
Story here is that Iraq was going Euro, and that would mess up the dollar. Sorry guys, the dollar got messed up anyways.

Send a Message
Listen up, Iran/Korea/Hamas/Hizbollah. When you see how we lay down the law in Iraq, you are just going to piss your pants and give up being assholes.

Aliens

Nuff said.

So it’s pointless why we’re in Iraq. There are dozens of reasons. Just pick one and win it. Like we did in Vietnam. We won that one, right?
