As much as you don't like Rachel Maddow, you need to watch her
documentary on Why Iraq. Even the most cynical partisan would find it
hard to argue with her conclusions.
You're a joke.
I have to think MadCow was just knee jerking if she thinks Bush's
invasion of Iraq was to increase oil production. That invasion caused
the first significant decrease in middle east oil in decades.
Far more of an impact than the sanctions.
Maybe she should have said it was intended to raise oil prices.
For jps's benefit, I *did* watch Rachel's special on "Why Iraq"? Twice.
It didn't and doesn't change my opinion. There is no evidence that the
US government benefited by securing oil supplies.
It was to get Saddam's WMDs...everyone knows that. 
What it was, actually, was the dumbest move by a U.S. Administration
since we decided we could prop up by military force the corrupt
government of South Vietnam.
