2003 in, 2004 pacified, 2006 insurgency, 2011 getting out again, 2019... still a shithole, just one in which America has sunk 4 trillion dollar
So what purpose did the Bush invasion of Iraq serve?

Made a lot of money for shareholders in the arms industry.

To prop up the petrodollar, ensure our poppy fields so we can keep our population nice and opiated, to provide military contracts for the military industrial complex, ritual human sacrifice, and “Jews”
That about sums it up
Joshua King
The intifada in Palestine ended and all focus was shifted to Iraq
Jace Peterson
Oil. Lots of oil. Enough oil that tankers were waiting weeks to unload in US ports. Oil had to be pumped back into oilwells cause everything was full. It was just that much. Also a lot of oil got stored in SA, a great US ally. Both the US and SA avoided peak oil by that cheap ass campaign.
Julian Turner
The second intifada ended in 2005 mostly because of the Israeli wall construction

Who the fuck ever cared about shitskins shooting each other?

The US is a net exporter of oil, idiot. We sell it to the rest of the world. Oil we get from within our own country.
Easton Russell
All national enterprises got stolen for scraps.
Israel is more secure.
Direct oil pipe to israel, protectef by US military.

What is petrodollar.

Pretend that they are the enemies to cover up 9/11 (inside job)
Jonathan Allen
The US has hated Saddam since the 90's. Iraq was probably an excuse to just take him out.
Luis Foster
Can somebody list all the normie reason to invade iraq and how all those were memory holed. Weapons of mass destruction is always the claßic but what else.
Cooper Brooks
Iraq borrowed a lot of money to rebuild their country. That will take a LONG TIME to repay.
Brody Phillips
They said Saddam funded 9/11 and was funding terrorism globally. Also, he was supposed to have rockets filled with sarin gas aimed at Jerusalem, Kuwait and Tel Aviv.
Lastly, they said oil prices shouldn’t go up.
Ethan Peterson
Only to eliminate Saddam
Bentley Gray
destroying iraq.
Gabriel Bailey
Saddam had recently voiced his intentions to fight Israel instead of Iran.
Lincoln Cooper
no we didn't
Josiah Cook
There was a lot of fighting. Fighting is fun.
Not everything has to have some great reason.

It served the purpose of hastening the demise of the US empire
All presidents since the cold war have been on a diehard course to dissolve the empire
David Thompson
Destabilizing Israel's neighbors
Alexander Jones
Nothing. It destabilized Iraq and later Syria (with US Intelligence meddling.) and made Iran more influential and powerful.
Jackson Morris
You think that the CIA is filled with Jow Forumsaks?
Sebastian Myers
this ^ the only reason we are in the middle east....
Aaron Reyes
I dont know for sure user, but there is allot of ancient history in that country. Maybe they wanted it for some occult reason.

Not in 2003, you goddamn fool.

You pirates have forsaken your flag and you need to start understanding that you can't just point two fingers at the googly eyes in your inbred eggplant shaped head and say "Look at me. I'm the oil exporter now" because it doesn't work like that. Also your statement is irrelevant.
Lincoln Thomas
Same purpose as all invasions, sell guns

But I can tell you all these Boomers are dead, we will have already prevented Generation X from rising up to take the place of the eternal boomer.

Resulted in the deaths of a few million Arabs in exchange for a few thousand lives.
Brayden Jenkins
They just felt like they had to strike at someone. Iraq was as good a target as any.
Also, iirc, there was an assassination attempt on Bush Sr. with Laura (Dubya's wife) right there, so maybe there was something personal to it too.
Brandon Garcia
The only reason we end to war with Iraq is because they were a threat to Israel. Literally the only reason
Tyler Baker

The 2003 Iraq War plays into the Afghanistan War as it was both a hunt for "WMD"s and Osama Bin Laden.
What they did was set up future conflict.
ISIS arises to take the place of the Iraqi government - many Iraqi's preferred living under Sadam. And oil.
Northern Afghanistan has tons of opium fields.
10-15 years after we're in Afghanistan, America has the largest Opioid epidemic it has ever seen.

on the right side it says economy of iraq with a nice pic under it, even more down is details like debt and gdp
Eli Sanchez
Look at the companies that made money off the war like Haliburton. Look at whos on the board of directors and who owns stock. It was an alliance between the ango elite in the US and Zionists to make a fortune off destroying the enemies of the Zionists.

>Contractors reap $138bn from Iraq war
irishtimes.com
>Halliburton's revenues from Iraq increased from $320 million in the second quarter of the year to $2 billion in the final quarter. Revenue from US military projects brought in $3.9 billion in 2003 - an increase of 680 per cent on the 2002 numbers.
Levi Hernandez
Bernie Sanders voted against this crap. He tried to get as many politicians on both sides to vote against it too.
Eli Walker
sure just let cheney off the hook. he wanted to project american power and there weren't enough targets in aghanistan (he actually said that). he was part of the bush 1 team that let saddam get away the first time and he wanted to finish the job.
Xavier James
It appeased the Jews. That's what America's military is for.
Julian Collins
We could've bought Greenland for that kind of cash
Ryder Lee
>he tried ta kill muh daddy
Julian Nelson
Joseph Lee
Now it is, yeah.
It wasn't in 2003, idiot.
Sebastian Williams
>It appeased the Jews.
at the time yea, but then Iran ended up defeating us there and turned Iraq into their client state so nojw the jews are extra pissy
John Hernandez
>Made a lot of money for shareholders in the arms industry.
But the Bush family and Big Oil control the Federal Reserve. They can print money, fuckface.
OP's answer is that the invasion was to protect expand the central bank monopoly and it's tie to oil.
Andrew Harris
For America? nothing.
Chase Perez
I don't buy the "Saddam was going to use Euros" meme. Sure he may have taken steps to do it, but he also wasn't retarded enough to continue to do so if keeping the dollar meant preserving his regime. Israeli interests came first during the invasion.
Noah Nelson
Put on your thinking cap for this image, user.
