The special operations in charge of finding the WMDs located underground storage facilities that housed chemical weapons, casks were located inside, empty, but not enough condemning evidence- even though everyone knew it wasn't for housing rice and grain.

Yes, let's go to war with the one country in the middle east that we've been on good terms with for longer than Israel has been in existence, the one country that sells us the most oil for not insane prices (for the most part). Remember 1991? The Saudis asked US to come protect them and their oil. WE discovered oil there in the 1930's and have, for the most part, been on good terms with their government- for the most part, the royal family has a close friendship with the Bush family and has with almost every single president since WWII. It's the people, a lot of the military leadership, and most of the religious leaders (especially the Wahabbis) that hate us.

Now, the real issue was that we shouldn't have done anything with Iraq until we sorted out Afghanistan, and possibly bitch slapped the Pakis.
