Where is your evidence we were there for oil?
Let me know if the question goes over your head again ill write it in crayon
Simple deduction Watson.
The official reason was because 9/11, terrorism, and WMD. There was no evidence they were involved in 9/11 and it became clear they cherry picked the WMD "evidence" to make it look like they were trying to get nukes. We didn't find any WMD of scale, maybe some dilapidated weapons from the Iraq Iran war, but we knew about those and even helped Iraq to an extent in that war.
The US took control of the oil (while still paying for ours) after the war.
There's more evidence it was about oil than anything else. Principally that Haliburton got no bid contracts while their ex CEO was Vice President.
If you want to believe the offical line, and act as if this was one of the few just wars post WWII, no one is stopping you. That's your right. But post WWII US foreign policy has shown that it's not about the interests of the American people, but rather the donor class. That's evident by literally no one talking about Iraq before 2000, or no one outside of Florida campaigning that we do something about Venezuela up until a few months ago to safe face politically.
The American people don't want involvement in these countries. The donor class do.
We spent trillions of dollars in Iraq, and for what? Go look at our national debt after that, we haven't even paid it off. The American people are on the hook for something they never asked for. Most people vote for a better economy and quality of life. Instead we get Neo Cons who put us into debt for countries no one even talked about.
