Why didn't we just take it after we kicked their butts out of Kuwait 12 years ago?

UN would not authorize the conquest mission. We were only there to remove Iraq from Kuwait. Any looting of the oil then would have been too obvious. Now, we at least have the WMD excuse but it isn't working all that well. UN knows its about oil and is defying Bushie to go it alone.

I try to be respectful of other's ideas in my posts but your ignorance ignores reality and isn't deserving of respect. Research your topic before posting and you won't resort to such drivel. I'll be happy to talk to you another time when you can carry an intelligent conversation.

How is it about oil? IOW, do you have a theory to go with that ambiguous and free-floating assertion?

Ah, so it's a double-secret conspiracy. You know, you could end up in one of Ashcroft's concentration camps for thinking like that.
