WHY DONT YOU COME AND SEE WITH YOUR OWN EYES WHAT IS HAPPENING IN IRAQ

None, the war wasn't about oil. It would have been way easier and cheaper to buy it from them than invade. If you want another reason for the war other than WMD or a threat to world security then ask yourself how useful it is for USA/UK to have a military base in the middle east and a democracy dependent on their military and money jammed in the middle of all those monarchies and dictatorships

Not nearly as many as were illegally sold and traded for weapons by Anon Jr. and his posse of UN Thugs under the guise of the oil for food program. This war was only about oil for countries like Germany and France who were selling their UN votes to Saddam for cheap oil. Iraq was invaded because Saddam refused to comply with UN weapons inspections...PERIOD! And for all of the people who think the US needs Iraqi oil, where do you get this idea? If we invaded Iraq to steal oil, why has the price of oil tripled since the invasion? Get a clue!

There was a fund of billions of dollars of oil money held by the UN and transferred to the US for the rebuilding of Iraq. Some of this has disappeared, but most went to US companies on hugely overpriced contracts to rebuild oil production facilities, airports and the occasional hospital wing or school.

If you're implication is that America and the coalition is somehow getting "free" oil as a result of having liberated Iraq.... you're wrong. People more clever than you would be making that a big issue.

all what american can!!!
Of course, oil is one of motivations in iraq war
America needs oil vry much, but most of oil producers are seem to be their enemy (Iraq,Iran,venezuela etc)
so they attack iraq and control their oil
While controlling iraqi oil, USA need not to worry about intervening saudi anymore, and sometime they will occupy saudi too, control makka and medina, hinder muslim to do pilgrimation or setr a very high tax for pilgrimation
But everybody's sure, USA's main motivation in iraq is to save Israel, their nuclear-armed closest ally, (or even i think Israel is USA's master) from saddam's threath
