There are a number of conspiracy theories revolving around the Iraq War. The general theory is that the United States lied about Saddam Hussein having weapons of mass destruction and used this as a pretext for invading Iraq. The reason why Saddam Hussein was a target to be taken out was because he refused to allow U.S. companies to take over Iraqi oil production.

On top of this other theories mention the War on Terrorism and how the United States uses terror as a way to implement new bills and laws for the "safety" of the American people while they really take away their freedoms. Some other people, such as William Henry, think one of the primary reasons for the Iraq War was for the United States to have access to a Stargate which is located in Iraq.
