Where the oil we buy comes from isn't really all that important. Any disruption of any of the world's supply of oil effects the price we pay. A severe enough disruption would be quire harmful.

More interesting logic. Post invasion the oil production of Iraq is lower than what it was before the war...

In any case "about oil" doesn't really mean "about Iraqi oil". Iraq doesn't just have a lot of oil, its near other large producers, and it was potentially a threat to that production.

And that is worth 3500 and counting dead+25000 wounded Americans, untold iraqis dead, wounded and dispossessed, a country in flames, 2million refugees, iran in the driver seat, and oil at $65 a barrel...great results. Keep defending these assholes. If ever there was a need for court martial for the criminal incompetent, this is a text book case.

That's too strong of statement. There is some evidence of some presence. You might say something like "where there is no evidence that the government was allied with Al Qaeda", and than I'd probably agree.

Only you would care that there may have been half a dozen half witted "have beens". And now we have an army of active REAL terrorists? Is it better now? Oh yeah...they will follow us home now if we leave...so say the criminals that went and stirred the hornet's nest. What keeps them from doing just that now that our army is so busy firefighting THERE?

But there where WMD programs....Mostly suspended, but ready to be fully resumed when the international inspection and sanctions regime broke down.

Bullshit. The inspectors had been gone for several years before resuming inspections just before the war. There was nothing there worth invading for. We could have kept saddam in check forever.

The concern here was not about imminent threats but possible future threats.

Please...you sound really hollow and stubbornly stupid.
