Before the invasion, what if George Bush had said....? [View All]

"I know that Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11 and we don't know if he has WMDs or not. But since we were attacked by Arabs, we are going to take something in return that is very valuable to them - their oil. Since we know that oil production is going to peak in the next couple of years, we are going to overthrow Saddam and take their oil. We know the international community will not accept this as a legitimate reason so we must pretend that we are going thru the UN and pretend that Saddam is a threat to his neighbors and to us, in order to get some type of international consensus, so that we will not be looked at as a violator of international laws and as an aggressive nation."

If he had said that, would you look at the invasion any differently?
