Why should anyone be expected to believe any wild claims you make about the motivations of Iraqi aggressors unless you can provide a credible source for your claims? You’re making the assertion, as they say, put up or shut up.

I mean, come on, you know how to google right? If this is so obvious, then surely you can come up with a respectable link?

I’ll stand by my accusation of posterior-speaking in regards to your claims.
