I never understood this war neither. What I don't get at all is, when the CIA lied to Congress about the WMDs in Iraq, why were there no consequences afterwards? Nobody went even to jail, although the congressmen claimed they were lied to. Please explain this to me.

Real reason for the invasions was to destabilize the middle east, send sand niggers to Europe, and destabilize the west in turn.
Logan Carter
you realise that Australians were right behind the yanks when they invaded Iraq? We were the only other western nation to help with the invasion. We sent SASR units to HALO jump into Saddams territory to disable some communication arrays

Misdirection. Friendly Carlyle Group oil countries are still friendly twenty years later. Magic when so much else is up in the air.
