Fuck Rochard...are you really this misinformed? We invaded them again in 2002 because they might have had "WMD'S" (which turned out to be bullshit).

And I disagree on this.
We attacked Iraq and kicked them out of Kuwait. We signed a peace treaty... which was then violated every day for over a decade. When I say "violated" I mean Iraq was shooting at US warplanes on a daily basis - an act of war - and the United States was bombing back. A de facto state of war existed between the United States and Iraq while Clinton was still in office, before Bush took over.
The Bush administration had to sell it to the American public, and they had been bickering over the issue of WMDs and that was an easy sell. But the truth is a shooting war existed with Iraq before President Bush took office.
