Why we are REALLY in Iraq ...

WMDs camouflage real reasons behind Iraq invasion from the Australian by Frank Devine

1. Sure we thought Iraq had WMDs. But there were also critically strategic reasons why we had to take Iraq.
2. America has identfied the jihadist campaign as a "Saudi Problem".
3. There are serious problems with attacking Saudi Arabia directly, but notice that the US now has bases surrounding them.
4. Iraq borders six countries: Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Turkey and Iran. Think about it.
5. The US/Jihadist war hangs in the balance in Iraq.
6. We are winning.

From the Article:

The strategy of the jihadists has stalled: "Not a single regime has fallen to al-Qa'ida ... There is no rising in the Islamic street. [There has been] complete failure of al-Qa'ida to generate the political response they were seeking ... At this point the US is winning ... The war goes on."

Good Stuff. Read my excerpts from the article here if it disappears from before you access the main article.
