Theres no conspiracy there, just Wolfowitz and Rumsfield at the confrence table saying Sadam has got to go, and heres why and heres how we can get the American people on board. When they sell U cereal they tell you how good it is but fail to mention the sugar in it. Is that a conspiracy. It was easier to tell you WMD's than explain the Geo-political reasons...which a lot of people wouldn't understand. The oposition party would play poitics and nothing would get done.

The USA is out to change the face of the Mid East...Saddam was the first and easiest choich. It shows America means business, with regard to the ME and elsewhere, it puts US troops in a central location, it gets rid of a bad guy and puts the others on notice, it gets rid of a destabilizing agent, oil prices can stabilize as ONE result. All those things are pluses. The war on Terrorism is a multifaceted war, getting rid of Saddam is like cleaning out the house so you can redecorate, and you can't redecorate until you clean house. The US Govt has realized it can no longer sit idlily by and let Muslim Fundlementalists operate, for to do so would be to put ourselves at great peril. The wests very survival depends on eliminating the threat.

I would say most information is on a need to know basis...Gore Vidal has said that since 1948 the USA has been a National Security State. If U knew the whole truth you probably wouldn't go to sleep at night.

For instance we now have learned that what the government was most afraid of was a Dirty Bomb..that they still have the people and trucks ready to go in event something happens along those lines. And LVwas one of the key places they were concerned about. They even found a radium filled device in a storage locker in LV, they immediately notified the President. It turned out after investigation that a homeless person found it, it was an old radiological medical implant used in treating cancer.
