The Neoconservative Agenda, the Oil Interests and the War on Iraq 2003

Abstract

The present research examines the issue of the Iraq invasion 2003, and the major driving forces behind it. The invasion was undertaken by the Bush Jr. administration for the sake of achieving specific old agenda. It asserts that the war was not a current result of the 9/11 and its aftermath of fighting global terror. However, it was snowballing among the veteran actual policy makers even before their coming to the White House. The major operants who enhanced the war consisted into two categories; the Straussian neoconservatives with their fantasy to the hegemony of the United States and unquestioned support to Israel, and the over- rich oilmen with their thirst to Iraq's oil reserves. The alliance inside the White House worked rapidly to enact the legality of invasion, especially, after the raise of the global terror notion and the necessity to eradicate it. Also, the thesis explores the main political scenes that accompanied the pre-war process and dwells in the intelligentsia's rational opinion about war's dimensions. Deep insight focused on the invalidity stereotype of the U.S. senior officials and propagandist intellectuals' claims to promote the U.S. western ideals abroad. Eventually, the thesis looks into the severe violations on the right of Iraqis and robbery that occurred in the aftermath of main military operation official end. In the propose study we are aiming at clarifying the weaknesses of the neoconservative asserts, and uncover the oil cartels' greed, consequently, reaching the real ends behind the war on Iraq.
