Liberation of the Iraq's is mentioned, it's right there in black and white.
so if i understand this "liberation" it seems in line with the american's "liberation" of
guatemala in 1953--no wait, that was overthrowing a government for united fruit
iran --ok no, that was to install the shah
chile 1972--no wait, that was to overthrow allenda and install a military dictatorship that "liberated" tens of thousands of chileans thereafter

the list is really quite long

somewhere in there is also

iraq, when the americans backed saddam hussein's ascension to power--no wait that was....as i see it, the americans already "liberated" iraq once, in their great and unique style.

please. the "liberation" argument is complete bullshit. the war in iraq was directed at the international community, at insufficiently nationalist institutions like the un that were appearing to gain power via globalization, etc etc etc--a long list of motives--none of them pertained to the iraqi people--of course making reference for them made for good boilerplate. and so it is.
