Here is a clue why we wound up in Iraq in the first place:
Our proxy, Kuwait, which has ironically become an appendage of Iraq in light of US intervention there ... caused the initial Iraq invasion by drilling laterally, under the Iraqi border to steal its oil.
You see, Iraq has a lot of underdeveloped oil and with the oil wells in Saudi Arabia slowing down in production, and Iran hostile to western oil interests ... Iraq's oil fields were the only game in town. So we took a vicious dictator that we and the British initially installed in Iraq (Saddam) who gassed his own people and Iranians (after we provided him with the poison gas to use) and turned him into an excuse to seize and occupy Iraq for the Iraqi's own good.
... and the headline reads "450+ murdered this month"
Because, of course, we invaded to save the Iraqis from a brutal dictator.
