If you're right, Hans Blix theory may be correct. Saddam destroyed the WMD's more than ten years ago. Certainly all the bio-chem suits they found were quite old, for use during the Iran-Iraq war probably. And the mobile lab Bush told us was "proof" of WMD's is similar to a type the US military uses for blowing up balloons with hydrogen gas.

"It's all about oil and money and power. You are right when you say there were many reasons to invade Iraq. A few of them were even fit to be told to the public. Whether those reasons were true or not though remains to be seen." The term "conspiracy theory" has been demoted almost to "hoax" in recent years. However, not all conspiracies are just "theories" in that sense. I believe in our system of checks and balances and worry when one arm of the government appears to be more powerful than the other two. I don't trust the govt any further than I can spit. I also worry when we have a representitive ... Bush, Clinton, or anyone else, who is seen as powerful in and of themselves. The position of president should be totally representative of the Constitutional principles and people of the USA; checked, balanced, monitored and kept forthright by our system...no more no less. When things appear to be tetoring on that platform, I get worried. I am worried now, but not enough to start casting spurious allegations. The ME stuff is about many things including oil, and power, and money. However, the word "All" almost always pushes an opinion to the edge of extremism. It leads to finger pointing and destructive politics.
