Not a war for oil? OK ...I guess for people like you I should sit here and spend my time running through all the factors,including keeping the dollar as default currency, that motivated the beneficiaries of that war. To say the last and biggest of the easy picking oil fields was not a big part of getting control of Iraq and as much of the surrounding oil rich area is ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as thinking the core agenda of the moneyed elite in control of the "two parties" is any different.
