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

Bush said that the Iraqi oil reserves are being protected and preserved for the Iraqi people. And I believe him. Bush isn't planning to steal Iraqi oil. He wants the Iraqi people to exploit it, make moeny from it, and then spend that money on rebuilding Iraq.

And who will be doing that rebuilding? Who has already secured the billions of dollars worth of contracts for the reconstruction of Iraq's devastated infrastructure? Yup, you guessed it, Bush and his cronies. His colleagues, freinds and financial backers all have fingers in the pie.

Pick your own supporting article.

That said, I don't believe this was the primary reason for the war, it was just a tasty little bonus. I think what it really comes down to is global dominance, as outlined in the PNAC. Anything else is just a cover-story, imho.
