I'm dumb?? Then, do tell the group, NOYB, how do you know that bin
Laden would now control all of the oil in the mideast if we hadn't
invaded Iraq?

From bin Laden's 1996 declaration of war against America:

" I would like here to alert my brothers, the Mujahideen, the sons of the
nation, to protect this (oil) wealth and not to include it in the battle
as it is a great Islamic wealth and a large economical power essential for
the soon to be established Islamic state, by Allah's Permission and Grace.
"

More from bin Laden:

" Moreover, the presence of the world largest oil reserve makes the land of
the two Holy Places an important economical power in the Islamic world"

Are you still convinced he wasn't after the region's oil supply, Kevin?
