If you believe it was about wanting oil and doing anything to get it, why didn't we steal Iraq's oil? With Bush, his whole life was one that revolved around oil money. His Dad made a small fortune in oil, but W made more by getting a piece of the Texas Rangers baseball team. Thats what established him financially and allowed him to run for governor, then President. When Bush looked at Iraq, I think he thought what if this guy really does get a nuke? Better take him out before that can happen. The fact Clinton administration people were telling him Iraq was a danger influenced him as well. You probably haven't heard of it but there was a book written by a former Clinton era intelligence guy named Pollack called The Threatening Storm. It explicitly made the case for invading Iraq and not waiting till Saddam got WMD's. amazon.com amazon.com What's more is once Bush committed to something, it was his way or the highway. He brooked no dissension. Thats not so, you had Powell and Rumsfeld both in the administration and they weren't together all the time. Later he replaced Rumsfeld.
