was iraq invaded for israel?

So the remarks by South Carolina's senior Senator in May 2004 that Iraq was invaded to secure Israel, and that everybody in Washington knows it, are indeed remarkable. Ernest Fritz Hollings, a Democrat who has represented his state in the US Senate since 1966, is now serving his final term in Washington.
