I think Saddam thought that too.

He did. But let us be carefull as to how important Iraq was, verse Iran in the actual sales of oil. To different animals, different game plans. I do hope the Saudis and their neighboring states, Canada, Mexico, Indonesia, and Malasia are planning to boost their oil exports, should we have to take out Iran.
Then again, perhaps the new generation very deep penetrators are really to go. Supposed we virtually destroyed everything related to their military/communications networks, their airforce and navy, and all the nuclear and suspect nuclear facility sites and all related industries that contribute to their nuclear program, both above and below ground level.
Would they continue to sell oil/gas to the world?
