Well a President with half a brain has clearly conned you, DC.

The Iraq war was about power and money, yes through oil, but also through the generous constuction contracts given to American firms to "rebuild" Iraq, and the other opportunities for capitalist exploitation that conquest and installation of an America-friendly government entails. Not to mention the boost for the arms manufacturers that a war necessarily provides.

Quoting figures about the world's oil production is all well and good but it ignores the fact that American business has gained from the taxpayer-funded war.

It is an historical fact, true now as ever, that wars are waged by rich people in their own interest, paid for by the money, hard work and lives of the poor.
