WHY WE INVADED IRAQ - VERSION 3

1] To root out weapons of mass destruction - only there weren't any. 2] To establish a bastion of democracy in the Middle East - don't make me laugh. 3] Ah, this sounds more like it - to tie up Iraq's oil production in the hands of western companies. So the truth is creeping out at last.
Blair, of course, took advantage of the powerful leverage he exerts by means of the special relationship to propose a trust to hold Iraq's oil revenues for the benefit of the country. Bush smiled benignly, and put it straight in the bin. Still, it's nice to see the facts shyly appearing.
