I think Bush and company invaded Iraq to get the Oil. Remember Iraq was the third biggest producer and its proven reserves at time of invasion was about $21 Trillion.
A secondary issue was to provide an avenue of Profit for the Military Industrial complex. And Profit they have. Why on earth would they want to stop this cash cow?
Finally, Iraq provides a good platform for more malfeasance in the area, i. e. Iran the fourth largest producer of Oil.
So I don't think it was a Social Welfare experiment, I believe it was a "sieze the potential profit exercise".
That hundreds of thousands would die and futures would be sacrificed didn't mean a damn thing to them.
And the murder and mayhem encouraged by Hagee and Parsley falls right into character with the Bush Administration.
