The current war in Iraq is a resource war. At this point, you'd have to be mentally defective in some way to think that WMD was the reason for our invasion. WMD seemed to provide the most easily jusifiable excuse, particularly when it came time to justify our case to the UN, for going to war. The whole, "well, our intelligence just wasn't good" excuse is probably the laimest excuse I've ever heard.

I haven't seen the movie, but I have studied the resource war perspective on the current war, it seems to make sense to me. Heck, the first Gulf War was a resource war, Iraq took over an oil field called Kuwait. I figure most people felt there was a remote chance that Saddam would once again strike out at an oil-rich country other than his own and would cause a major disturbance in the region, which would cause oil prices to rise based on fears that the disturbance would interupt supply. The attack on Iraq was basically a pre-emptive attack to prevent this. No WMD were ever found and shortly after the war began our commander-in-chief declared victory on the deck of an aircraft carrier. We're still fighting today. Why? We're stuck. If we withdraw from Iraq, it's likely a regime far worse than Saddam will come to power and further destabilize the region. If you think $140/bbl of oil sucks, wait 'til this happens! So, as strange as it may seem, we are essentially a stabilizing force in Iraq right now, this keeps oil prices in check. It also provides a buffer separating the Shia muslims in the east from the Sunni Muslims of the west (think Saudia Arabia, lots of oil!) The fact of the matter is a lot of Muslims hate each other, we don't need Iran and Saudia Arabia sharing a border, especially right now w/ oil prices where they're at.

Many other nations have developed weapons of mass destruction over the last 7 years and they have not been subject to pre-emptive attacks by either us or the "coalition of the willing". This is the writing on the wall that the current war in Iraq did not center around WMD; rather, its primary focus is the resource that keeps us going: OIL.
