The Iraq War retrospective Thread

[--Pete]

Hi,

"... crystal ball ..."

There was no need for a crystal ball 5 years ago, and there is none now.

I think you missed my point. You claim that Iraq's acceptance of the Euro was an issue that caused the invasion. I pointed out that there is a lot of evidence that this administration wanted to invade Iraq long before Iraq decided to accepted payment in Euros. Thus, for that issue to have had an influence, the administration would have had to know about it a (probably long) time before it happened. Possibly even before whoever eventually made that decision did so. Thus "crystal ball".
