Certain Saudis. Some in the government but many who were not. Be honest.Iraq had nothing to do with nine eleven. It was funded by saudi arabia who bush viewed as our closest middle eastern ally.

Isis was the result of Bush’s stupid invasionSo ISIS didn't count?
He's dead. You cannot pray for the dead.Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton voted in favor of the Iraqi invasion but the Honorable Robert Byrd stood his ground and he voted against it because that man has dignity. God bless Robert Byrd.
Hardly their first............
This was the Media's first major conspiratorial lie.
Saddam had anthrax wmds that we sold him but we were embarrassed to admit publicly.They told "us" that Bush lied about WMD's. They knew this was false, but it remains the prevailing belief. ......
What are your thoughts all these years later?
Yeah, I wonder how we didn't end up controlling the country, routing terrorism there and owning all of the oil?
Many U.S. cities and industries are in shambles. Who should invade?The Iraqi oil business was in shambles long before we invaded.
Hardly their first.

1. President George Walker Bush invaded Iraq based on an untruth.
2. If he had been a person of honor, he would have apologized to the nation (and the world) by resigning.
3. Thousands of American troops were killed or maimed for life; at least 100,000 Iraqi civilians died.
'
4. Iraq was destroyed as the buffer between Iran and the Arab states.
5. Europe was flooded by Middle East refugees. This development has changed Europe forever. (Ask Sweden.)
really----what was the FAKE EVIDENCE? There is no question that he had lotsI get so tired of this bullshit! If someone lies to you and you believe it, who is the liar? Bush's belief that Iraq had WMDs was because of a defector from Iraq who claimed Saddam had a ready supply of WMDs and provided evidence that was completely false. Saddam created those fake WMDs to scare off Iran! Why should anyone apologize for enemy lies?

Here was an excellent morning discussion on the 20 year anniversary of the United States led invasion of Iraq. All sorts of informative calls from fellow American citizens on the very issue
“Viewers commented on a question concerning the 20th anniversary of former President George W. Bush declaring the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom and the start of the seven-year U.S. war in Iraq: “What is the legacy of that war?”

I was just a young kid when this invasion had occurred in March 2003…. operation “shock and awe”
and it was a very interesting thing remembering it I was thinking why is this happening what is the deal with this man Saddam Hussein but more than that what about the proud people of Iraq what about them what about these Arabs what about these proud Arab Christians and Arab Muslims. Is he that’s one thing before 2003 12% of Iraq was Christian now something like 4% of the country is Christian. before 2003 the second in command of Iraq the number to most powerful man was a Catholic Tarik Aziz…. where is the Christian leader ship in Iraq now.? Critics have said that Iraq is very much influenced or even controlled by the Islamic Republic of Iran something that is very ugly it certainly is not good for proud Arab women.
This is one of the last outlet’s of journalistic integrity in America which is Washington journal on C-SPAN. Where American citizens can call into the program and provide their opinion. You just don’t see that on CNN, Fox News or MSNBC.
My thoughts on the 20 year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq and the legacy of the Iraq war is first of all I stand by the United States military and by President George W. Bush. We as Americans we have freedom of speech that folks don’t have that in other countries of the world. But we have that in America at least for now. And I believe in supporting the office of the presidency just like it was during the Vietnam war when you had even Vietnam veterans who disagreed with the war but who fought because they were drafted and because they felt it was their duty.
I go back to the Iraq Iran war. I think that the United States should have supported Iraq more to crush Iran. Iran is a country that forces women to cover their hair has all sorts of sexist laws. They are problematic but they weren’t like that during the days of the shah. obviously we had the Iran contra affair I get this that was only for about four months during the Iran Iraq war and Ronald Reagan issued an apology to the Iraqi people for that episode.
One thing that stands out about this war is that Iraq was all alone…. they had no support from China no support from Russia that would’ve been a game changer if that support had occurred. Iraq did get some support from Arab volunteers across the Arab world but that hails in comparison to $100 billion in international military support for example. The hypocrisy of the international media between now and then is crystal clear.
To the other side of the argument one might say that the world is better off without the Ba’ath party of Iraq. But that is certainly very much debatable…. on the flipside you have ISIL and the terrorism brutality this was probably the worst state in the history of the world ….perhaps second to the third Reich. For a couple of years the Islamic state of Iraq and the Levant were throwing people into fires, they were feeding men to sharks in pools literally, ISIL would put men in a cage three or four of them and then drown them to death in a suburban swimming pool, they would Put men into a car and then blow the car up. They would chainsaw peoples heads off …. they executed Christians in mass…. basically anything you could think of from a violent video game ISIL did…. ISIL even had their own modified version of the video game “ Grandtheft auto“…which word attempt to recruit young gamers over to the cause of ISIL.
Of course after 2003 and also during the initial invasion you had dead Americans you had dead Iraqis. There was anywhere from 300,000 to 1,000,000 dead Iraqis due to the war in Iraq. Not to mention the tens of thousands of American soldiers who were injured…. some of whom suffered horrific spinal cord injuries , neck injuries they had their legs blown off their arms blown off many of these men these brave American soldiers are in wheelchairs for the rest of their lives. They can’t have sex they can’t even use the bathroom on their own piano that is something that words cannot really describe.
But it’s not just ISIL. Here’s a question we as Americans can ask today. What is the purpose of The state of Iraq …. A country which of the United States poured trillions of dollars into and countless American lives over 3200 American lives and again tens of thousands of injured soldiers. So where does Iraq stand today is it actually an ally of the United States? , or is it more so an ally of the Islamic Republic of Iran? which chants of death to America.
Finally what will the future of Iraq be ? will it actually remain a technical ally of the United States or will it become closer toward Iran? I think this is perhaps the most important question. Iraq has quite a bit of natural resources of course much oil.
