    Iraq was a war-for-oil. Neo-cons/PNAC were planning to go into Iraq in late '90s.

    head's secret National Energy Policy planning in early 2001 with unknown oil/gas execs included Iraq maps and oil fields.

    dubya mentioned Iraq in his very first cabinet meeting 2 years before he invaded.

    All the Repug reasons for invading Iraq were lies, total criminal bull .

    If you believe otherwise, GFY.

    btw, the neo-con joke was "wimps invade Iraq, Real Men invade Iran".

    Nukes aren't the problem in Iran, US/UK lack of access to Iran's oil is the problem.

    ....exactly, Darth Cheney's plan was never to free the Iraqi oil and send it West, that would hurt the profits of his cons uents, the oil companies....

    Dumbass.

    Oil is oil. it's not democratic, muslim, or communist. So China buys Irans oil. big ing deal. If they weren't buying Iran's oil they would be buying someone elses.

    The urgency of "no other option, invasion is the ONLY solution" in Feb 2003 was that Russians, Chinese, and French were doing contracts for IRaqi oil, while Saddam excluded US and UK.

    Aren't you suppose to a ing businessman? The US oilcos want to get at Iran's oil so they can profit from it. US oilcos don't profit from Iran oil sold to other countries, to belabor the obvious for your ing pea brain.

    Well, if (for the sake of argument) our true motive for going into Iraq were for the oil, then how would we measure success or failure? If we have control of the oil, it would seem to be a success, right?

    And post-war the Iraqi's have complete and total control over their oil.

    As usual Boutons is lost out in left field.

    The Russians, the Chinese, the Italians -- , even the Danish -- have been landing the monster contracts. The war for oil, if it was that, failed.
