Moneymaking for the Complex and a way of staying where the US is not wanted by any side.

W Bush was fully aware that "AQ" foreign jihad groups were responsible for way less than 50% of the insurgent attacks when US troops were in Iraq. But his speeches pretended AQ was the only
enemy attacking the troops, so many times did he mention it and so few if any times did he mention resilient homegrown nationalist and Baathist insurgencies.
