The war was about destroying them or not?

WMD materials will be destroyed if we find any. WMD materials is just one of the reasons for the war and in my opinion was not at the top of the list.

Reasons for war.
#1. Iraq was defeated on the field of battle and signed certain terms. Iraq has been in violation of those terms since they signed the terms in '91. The USA has demanded that those terms be complied with and that Iraq remain a defeated country.
#2. Iraq attempted to assasinate a former American President.
#3. Iraq has fired upon, almost daily, for almost 11 years, USA military forces.
#4. Iraq is believed to have, or are acquiring, or are attempting to acquire WMD's. The USA will not allow that.
#5. Iraq has, on multiple occassions called for Americans, to be killed where ever they are found. Thus they are a sworn enemy of the USA.
#6. Iraq is a strategic piece of real estate for future military operations against our enemies in the region, which number in the 100's of millions.
#7. Iraq is a strategic piece of real estate for its oil fields and for the surrounding oil fields, for as the worlds oil supplies dwindle the USA will be in a position to control the dwindling oil supplies for its use and the use of its European allies.
#8. A take over of Iraq sends a very powerful signal to the other countries in that area of the world that if they don't get their act together they will be next.
Any one of the reasons above is a reason for war.

I posted that long before the invasion of Iraq. Pay particular attention to #6-8.
It is my belief that #6-8 are the driving force behind the invasion of Iraq. If I am correct...what would have been the reaction of the World if President would have stated these reasons?
The majority of the American people...I do not believe would have had a problem...if the President would have stated reasons 6-8..but approval may have been lessened.
