Reasons for war. Weapons of mass destruction (WMD) were not found. Who is accountable for this needless war? The 911 commission established that there were no WMD and no association with Al Quada. Not finding WMD confirms that this war was a diversion for something else. Listed below are the real reasons perceived for going to war:
Oil. Yes, as one lobbyist saying to another lobbyist, as viewed on a spy camera,” If it was not for the oil, we would not be at war with Iraq.” Iraq has more known future oil reserves than any other country.

We had decimated their forces. They had no WMD and it would have taken up to a decade for them to ever get WMD. Korea however was a different story. Now President Clinton had a deal with Korea to keep them from making WMD. However, Bush decided to not abide with any agreement made by Clinton. Therefore, Korea started making WMD and rockets to del
