Construct the best argument to explain why we invaded Iraq. Bear in mind that Paul O’Neill (Bush’s original Secretary of the Treasury, who attended Cabinet meetings) reported in his book that the invasion of Iraq was discussed at the Cabinet level even before 9/11, and also that this conclusion is confirmed in œThe Downing St. Memos. Bear in mind, too, that the various reasons the administration had given to invade Iraq “ that Saddam was behind 9/11, that he was aiding al Qaida, that he had nuclear WMDs, that he had chemical and biological WMDs, that he was a vicious dictator, have all appeared to be either false or irrelevant.
