Not because the WMDs or to bring democracy to Iraq. That was the excuse, and, unless you are retarded, you understood what was the real reason for the war.
Things came out wrong, and then theme became "We support our troops." Sure, how nice. They put them in danger, and then they send them moral support. Never did they say something truly patriotic like "Hey, here's my son!" Yes, blame Bush-Cheney, but they got public support even after the failure to find the WMDs. They were reelected. Some were genuinely fooled but they were a minority.
This war is and always has been about consumption and selfishness.
I think there is some truth to what you are saying, but I have one question. Why did all the war protests end once Obama became President? Where are the cries of "Blood for oil" now that Obama is sending more troops to Iraq?

So the whole invading his neighbors, Iran and Kuwait, using poison gas on his neighbors and his own people, Iran and the Kurdish people, all of that, plus his support for world-wide terrorism was nothing?
You guys have been whining about blood for oil for decades, while ignoring everything else. How about, there was a laundry list of reasons to go to war with Saddam, and oil was just one of them?

Obviously the liberal, progressive, Democratic Party left are nothing but a bunch of political and ideologically driven, partisan hacks.
The network news was busy broadcasting the names of the dead soldiers, protesters holding rallies against the war, while Booosh was president. But then, once Obama was elected, there was a collective agreement by everyone that... "well, that's enough of that," and they all dropped what they were doing like a hot potato.
