So the US invading Iraq in direct contravention of the UN is going to rectify that, is it?
The weapons inspectors in the weeks prior to the invasion said that there was almost no evidence that he had any WMDs and pleaded with the US to let them finish the job. It's quite obvious that oil was the only thing on Bush's mind and he wasn't going to allow some uppity scientists to obliterate the only excuse he had to get his mitts on the second largest oil reserve in the world.
