Do you believe that the purpose of the initial attempt to find the weapons of mass destruction were truely a failure? Do you think that it was the only reason that we went there? If so, now that we have not found them, do you think that it is one of the biggest mistakes to have stayed in Iraq, just for the cover up to obtain oil and other necessities?

Well all those WMD things are bogus. All made up to invade an oil rich nation. Even if he did have WMD whats wrong in it.. Many countries have it

Now that i think about it. Maybe there was substantial evidence about the warheads that Powell claimed there were. I remember there was a big meeting with Powell and the administration before the war outlining the warheads that were suspected in Iraq.
If there's a risk, why take it? We don't want to get nuked...if there was evidence of WMDs then we have to take them down!

I belive that we did not go over there to find weapons of mass destruction, we went over there saying that but I belive that all along it was about the oil. There were way too many people against the invasion for me to belive that there seriously were these weapons.

The issues between the USA and Iraq (or more accurately, Saddam) are far more complex than WMD and Oil alone, although they are a part of it. Remember, the USA and Iraq were allies for quite a long time. It was the USA that supported Iraq during the Iraq-Iran War so the history is lengthy and complex.

Perhaps there is a complication of the reason of the cause of the US-Iraq war, not only because of Oil or WMD, but for something else, what could the real reason behind? If the US and Iraq had been friends for a long time, then they have a memory and perhaps there is a chance of reconciliation.

The USA relationship was with Saddam as the US supported him as an ally for years until the invasion of Kuwait.

The USA supported Iraq as it was warring with Iran and the USA and Iran had a rather difficult history as the USA backed the unpopular Shah who was overthrown by Khomeni who went on to became a major adversary of the USA
