"Imagine this scenario. The U.S. government obtains intelligence that hidden somewhere in central Iraq is an actual Stargate,placed there by the Anunnaki 'gods' of ancient Sumeria." That's an actual quote from one of several sites that insist the Iraq War was actually started because the United States wanted access to Saddam Hussein's secret Stargate device.

Apparently, the Stargate was hidden away in a secret base near Al-Ouja, which he obtained after contacting an ancient alien race. Saddam was intending to use the Stargate to allow the race to invade Earth, but fortunately the New World Order decided to step in and prevent it.

That's some next level conspiracies within conspiracies. Seriously, take a look at this site, which casually discusses how U.S. soldiers were equipped with X-ray goggles, and Saddam was breeding giant mutant scorpions. Seriously.
