OIL is never an honorable motive. And that was the motive.

Meanwhile, numerous contractors and corporations have gotten rich over the blood of our service men and women and Iraqi men, women, and children.

Then, why did we bother to invade Iraq? We could've occupied Kuwait and claimed their oil at much lower expense.

Indeed, we did occupy Kuwait prior to both Gulf Wars. But we didn't take their oil. Why not?

And how come we aren't taking the Iraqi oil, after going to all that trouble? Why are we letting them sell it to all comers?

Indeed, why didn't we just allow drilling in ANWR and offshore? Even more oil, much cheaper to obtain and secure.

Oh, hell, why not invade Canada. They've got even more oil...and nothing resembling a military. Saves all the transportation costs, too.

By the way, your position is transparently partisan. Not to mention completely fatuous.
