Why did the USA invade Iraq during the Bush presidency?

Well, there are many possible reasons, but one reason has to do with oil and international influence.  One possible answer is that the U.S. wanted to get Saddam Hussein out of power in Iraq in order to improve U.S. security and ensure access to global oil supplies.

So, it was all about oil revenue?

Not quite.  It’s true that some of the Bush administration’s stated motivations were connected to oil revenue.  For example, an oil pipeline from northern Iraq to Turkey was a major goal.  However, the oil revenue motive is not the only reason why the Bush administration invaded Iraq.

It just like a really bad thing to do. Invade a foreign country.
