Helen Thomas was the first WH reporter to ask W exactly WHY we invaded Iraq. She pointed out that Iraq was in no way connected to 9/11, had no "weapons of mass destruction", had not attacked us, and was not threat to us.

A question that hasn't been honestly answered to this day. My own theory is that the corrupt Bush/Cheney administration had a multitude of reasons, from W finishing the job he'd been told for years his father had left unfinished and getting to play "War President", to Cheney's visions of oil wealth and war profiteering for his old corporation, Halliburton, to Rummy's chance to try his new warfare theories, and on and on.

Kudos to Helen Thomas!
