Correct, the US invaded Iraq "supposedly" to prevent weapons of Mass destruction.

Subsequent US investigations proved there was nothing of significance and Iraq was not even close, previous inspections had worked and yet strangely US intelligent agencies mistook Milk factories for for uranium enrichment plants lol

The US government knowing the lie had largely been exposed then started to play the American people by saying "We are there for freedom" which mainstream America have been lapping up ever since.

The real reason for the US being in Iraq is regional influence and resource control, in other words to ensure oil stability.

Why are people so eager to say someone lied that they contradict themselves and ignore the meaning of the words they use?

If the first statement I put in bold is true, then they thought there were uranium enrichment plants and by definition were not lying. Therefore, those two points are contradictory and can't both be true.

Similarly, you make the point that they went for WMD's and gave the reason they thought they were there, and then you suggest that you believe the reason was for oil stability - again, the positions seem contraditory.

Was just curious what "crime" you think he committed...

Be specific...
He ordered waterboarding which is defined as a torture and a war crime. Also the US had several Japanese leaders executed after WW2 for waterboarding Americans. If we call it a war crime and execute people when it is done to us then it's still a war crime when we do it.

Bush "ordered" waterboarding?

I think your confused on who authorized the "three" waterboarding incidents...not to mention they got valuable information that prevented deaths from it.

Waterboarding is not torture anyway...

"Provoking" terrorism? Who is? The Bush administration or the current administration?

You didn't answer the question (what "crimes" did Bush commit?).

Does that mean U.S. Navy SEALS are being tortured?

Why do you think Bugliosi wants to prosecute Bush?

He is very familiar with that type of crime.

Let's see the list of crimes Bush committed. And not some liberal fantasy list of his "crimes."

Really???

Iraq Opens Up to Foreign Oil Majors - BusinessWeek

BP Plc and Exxon Mobil Corp. took the best deal they could get in Iraq last year when they won the largest oil contracts since addam Hussein was toppled in 2003. Oil companies may wait a long time to get a better one.
