It wasn't about WMD's, it wasn't about taking the oil - it was about keeping the oil in the ground. Saddam was planning on flooding the market with oil and nationalizing it. That would have made the price of a barrel go way down, put a crimp on OPEC, and hurt the Saudi's.
Ah, now it makes sense what Obama and his admin have done, in not allowing any drilling to speak of in the U.S. It has nothing to do with the environment, that's just a cover. They are protecting OPEC. As long as we are dependent on foreign oil, and the price goes up, that is exactly where they want us to be. It's all under the power brokers' control.

And that's how George Bush won the war in Iraq. The invasion was not about "blood for oil", but something far more sinister: blood for no oil. War to keep supply tight and send prices skyward.
Oil men, whether James Baker or George Bush or Dick Cheney, are not in the business of producing oil. They are in the business of producing profits.
And they've succeeded. Iraq, capable of producing six to 12 million barrels of oil a day, still exports well under its old OPEC quota of three million barrels.
The result: As we mark the tenth anniversary of the invasion this month, we also mark the fifth year of crude at $100 a barrel.
As George Bush could proudly say to James Baker: Mission Accomplished!
Whoever the next stooge is, in the White House, will continue to erode the sovereignty of this country. The globalists rule through the UN, International Treaties, and NATO now. The peoples representatives in Congress have little to say about anything significant, this day forward.
Your conspiracy theory is seriously flawed. The US is producing more oil now than under Bush and Iraq's oil industry is booming. Iraq is now the world's third largest exporter of oil and is poised to overtake Saudi Arabia.

maybe, but what would the feds do if that same gallon of gas was going for 60 cents a gallon instead of $3.50 a gallon. it would put a big crimp into the econuts plans.
We invaded Iraq since neocons thought that slaughtering a bunch of brown skinned people would prove how democracy and American values can liberate countries.
It was a practice in nation building and neocons believed that once Iraq had a vibrant and healthy democracy, other countries would follow suit. Instead, it just made the rest of the world hate us more.
Do you really believe that any sort of free market sets world oil prices?
That is a false premise. There is a big difference between OPEC and a massive international conspiracy of governments starting wars to restrict the supply of oil...when it is proven that supplies are increasing. OPEC can be proven, they announce the people and the meetings, the internal conspiracy of Illuminati/bilderberg/shape shifting lizard people has never been proven even with all the crazy people ranting on street corners trying to do so.

They have been fighting for hundreds, if not thousands, of years before we went over there. They will be fighting for hundreds of years to come.
