This war was not about WMD's but about control and influence on a global scale. The US wants to control the oil flowing out of Iraq into its own stockpiles, before the war Iraq was in major debt with Russia and France the 2 countrys that were helping Iraq develop there oil fields. When the US invaded Iraq and forced the regime change it effectively cancelled all the contracts that the former Government had signed, with the regime change the US took control of the 2nd largest reserve of oil on the planet. Now with control over the Iraqi oil the US can leverage indirect influence and control over the European and Asian economies wich are dependent on oil from the middle east.
