Guys, come on.
You're just not communicating!
Dick Cheney advised Bush to start the war. I think there is few people doubting that. Most political experts, both left and right, acknowledges Cheney as the most powerful VP ever.
As to WHY he wanted to started the war... there could be several theories.
Personally, I doubt Cheney wanted to go to war to make himself rich.
But, and here's the kicker, while USA is in Iraq, there is evidence indicating that Cheney is seizing the opportunity to fill his own wallet.
Greed isn't a popular trait.
A president, or VP, shouldn't put them in such a position that his/her credibility is questioned due to personal interests.
The question as to why USA went to war, despite IAEA never finding any WMD's, and no known connections to Al Qaida...
It was a clear breach of international law, but since USA, much like France, Russia, UK and other big players in the UN are on the winning side, I'm sure there will never be any actions taken against the US in the UN.
