There is no point in pretending that the welfare of the Iraqis had anything to do with it, since both we and they know it isn't true.

No, it had something to do with it. The authors of the present policy feel great shame over America's failure to aid the Kurdish and Shia uprisings in 1991. It wouldn't have been enough, without compelling national interests. But it was there. Don't let me see you fall into the simple-minded trap of saying, either America's motives must be totally pure, or they're totally cynical.
