The real reasons Bush went to war

WMD was the rationale for invading Iraq. But what was really driving
the US were fears over oil and the future of the dollar

There were only two credible reasons for invading Iraq: control over
oil and preservation of the dollar as the world's reserve currency.
Yet the government has kept silent on these factors, instead treating
us to the intriguing distractions of the Hutton and Butler reports.
Butler's overall finding of a "group think" failure was pure charity.
Absurdities like the 45-minute claim were adopted by high-level
officials and ministers because those concerned recognised the
substantial reason for war - oil. WMD provided only the bureaucratic
argument: the real reason was that Iraq was swimming in oil.
