So the war is about oil. Bush and Cheney are oil men. Now, I do believe in the business world high demand, low supply increases profits. Soooo, if the war is about oil, and Bush et al making money from it....Why in the world did our troops protect the oil fields?

If we wanted Iraq's oil for ourselves to stimulate the U.S. economy, why in the world would we want to STOP buying oil with food, knowing we produce way more food than we know what to do with? Before the war we were the major exporter of Iraqi goods. 47% of all Iraq's exports came to the U.S., more than any other country(CIA Fact book if you'd like to check my source).

So I still do not understand how this war was for Oil.

What I do understand is that Iraq threatened us, and refused to prove they had destroyed WMD.

What exactly am I missing here?
