That’s a good question. To answer the question, we should know the real goals for the war on Iraq. Don’t believe that chemical weapons or relations with Qauda, these 2 reasons were not true.
I think that the real reason was Oil, Sadam Hussain have decided to replace American $$ by Euro to sell Iraqi oil, and you know how this will affect the economy of USA and might encourage other countries to do the same.
Also, I think , USA would like to have a practical and live try to its new weapons….as you might know patriot rockets have been tested in the war on Iraqi in the first time and the try showed up that this wepon was not accurate enough, so new developments and modification are to be introduced to it.
According to this, I think war on Iraq achieved its real goals, I mean the hidden goals….but not the announced one, like freedom of Iraqi people or new Middle East.
