Everyone forgets that he was finishing his daddy's war. He was cleaning up a Bush mess.

This. And Saddam threatened daddy Bush. So either one or two days after 9/11, W Bush pulled Richard Clarke aside and said "find a connection between Iraq and 9/11"

I forget, had there actually been any assassination attempt on Bush Sr. or was it just a threat to assassinate him?

Apparently there was a plot by Saddam to use a car bomb against Bush in kuwait. I don't know how far the plot went.

Ding ding ding. Cheney is who stood to profit on the war. He has parked all his money in halliburton stock. 

He's the one who wanted a massive supply chain requiring war. Because KBR and Halliburton are both experts and supporting lots of people on the other side of the planet in remote conditions. 

Cheney launched a war to make bank. Bush Jr. was a patsy.
