Debatable. Think about it:
Al-Qaida = wants/needs money
Saddam = billionaire
Saddam = in Iraq
Iraq = in Middle East
Al-Qaida = in Middle East
Put those together, and there's two conclusions: either he
did have something to do with it, or he
would have helped if left alone.

Here is the reasons Bush decided to go to war in Iraq:
1. If he removes Saddam, it inceases his chances of re-election(this may work for him since we did get Saddam)
2. OIL
American are not dying in Iraq for our FREEDOM, they are dying for CHEAPER GAS here in the states.
The oil argument is not a new one. It's been a year since we went into Iraq, and gasoline prices in the US are
higher than before. So clearly, we're not getting this oil that Bush apparently wants. Also, I'll assume that the war-for-oil argument also says that we'll steal, i.e. get for free, this oil. But that's impossible; nobody would let us get away with that. We'd pay Iraq for the oil instead - which is legitimate.
Also, like I've stated earlier in this thread (page 1), there is quite a bit of oil
in the United States, in Alaska. But apparently, we can't drill for that stuff. So, US liberals/environmentalists, make a decision:
1. Let us get the oil in Alaska (our own country), so we stay out of the Middle East and make the world more peaceful as a whole.
2. Save the caribou.
Take your pick.

I agree with that. SUVs fucking suck, not only do they use so much gas, you can't see around them and they demolish other cars if there's an accident. It just makes the SUV drivers feel cooler, which is really stupid of them.

Give me one good reason why Bush wants to go to the moon again! So we can collect more fucking rocks? What a waste.
Also agreed. But even if he does want to, it'll never get done in time for him (even with re-election), so whoever replaces him will cut that away.
