Links to Iraq and terror are weak??? In what world do you live? He had ties to groups such as the ANO, Ansar Al- Islam, and various Palestinian groups. Other groups besides Al-Queda exist you know and he did support them.
We never attacked Iraq for our own oil supply, it amazes me that dissenters of the war never have been able to grasp this. We get maybe 20% of our oil from the Mideast (None of which comes from Iraq). If anything our presence in Iraq is a move to ensure our status as the sole hyper-power. Our presence in the unstable region that is the Mideast acts as a deterrent for other nations (such as Japan and Western European countries) that rely heavily on Mideastern oil from policing the region, thus they have weaker standing armies, thus we remain top dog. If you don't believe me read up on Paul Wolfowitz, this has been his idea for many a year, and he has manifested it quite brilliantly.
