"I thought we went to Iraq to make the world's oil supply safe for capitalism?"

I agree completely on Afghanistan and the poppy industry.  

If you believe we went to Iraq for WMD, you believe in the tooth fairy.  It was the evangelicals trying to create Armageddon.  Bush consults with them on foreign policy all the time.  Why do think that he's (we, you and me brother) headed for either invasion of bombing of Iran?  Same reason.

Just one of many sites regarding Bush and the Armageddonites.

America's Armageddonites Push for More War By Jon Basil Utley, Foreign Policy in Focus. Posted October 22, 2007

Utopian fantasies have long transfixed the human race. Yet today a much rarer fantasy has become popular in the United States. Millions of Americans, the richest people in history, have a death wish. They are the new "Armageddonites," fundamentalist evangelicals who have moved from forecasting Armageddon to actually trying to bring it about.

These end-timers have great influence over the U.S. government's foreign policy. They are thick with the Republican leadership. At a recent conference in Washington, congressional leader Roy Blunt, for example, has said that their work is "part of God's plan." At the same meeting, where speakers promoted attacking Iran, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay glorified "end times." Indeed the Bush administration often consults with them on Mideast policies. The organizer of the conference, Rev. John Hagee, is often welcomed at the White House, although his ratings are among the lowest on integrity and transparency by Ministry Watch, which rates religious broadcasters. He raises millions of dollars from his campaign supporting Israeli settlements on the West Bank, including much for himself. Erstwhile presidential candidate Gary Bauer is on his Board of Directors. Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson also both expressed strong end-times beliefs.
