There has been much speculation about this: control of oil supplies, revenge by the son for the father, "finishing" the war in the Persian Gulf, pursuing a stalled war on terrorism that has nowhere else to go except against another government.

Curious how many people find it easy to believe that Bush 43 is motivated by revenge even to point of conducting a self-destructive campaign, while finding it difficult to believe that Saddam Hussein could be motivated by revenge to any similar extent. Considering the natures and histories of the two men, quite an extraordinary conclusion.

<<<When it comes to the war on Iraq, "Why now?" >>>
The man cannot tell hot from cold
I started to walk around my place one day it was 111 degrees. Got about 500 ft, decided to go back to house and get some water before collapsing from dehydration
Was not wearing a gas mask
Was not in a Chemical protection suit
Was not carrying a rifle and 50 lbs of gear
Was not sitting inside a tank with engine running
Was not in a desert - in fact had some shade
Now go ask the writer how hot it gets in Iraq in the summer
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh
