will anyone deny that that is what everyone is so keen on having from offering "assistance" like the US who is currently stealing oil in Iraq?

This whole stealing oil myth is overplayed. The Iraq campaign is really, truly is about national security. The middle east doesn't like America (do the 'death to America' chants give it away?), have never liked America and seem set on inflicting harm to America. The fact that Iraq has oil reserves makes security pressing since a lot of oil can buy a lot of weapons.
There is a lot more history in Iraq and the Arab world than Bush. Even in recent history, Clinton ordered missle attacks against Iraq when Iraq started restricting weapons inspectors, which was the origin of the current conflict. If Clinton had 9/11 occur and weapons inspector being denied access in his term, he may have done a little more than air strikes, ie. a full blown military campaign.

No, not even close to 90% of the world's oil deposits are in the Middle East. As for the rest, get a life.

You can just see those fleets of U.S. owned and U.S. bound tankers lining up and stealing the oil at Iraqi ports, eh?
I bet you believe that the bombers are trying to assist Iraq when they bomb pipelines. Is this their way of saving Iraq from having the U.S. steal their oil, as opposed to disrupting the flow of oil funds required for the Iraqi elected government to establish itself and foster a democratic state (in addition to rebuilding the infrastructure so often targeted by terrorists)?
You are embarrassing yourself by exhibiting your absence of any knowledge to support your misguided and mindless point (or lack of one).

Excuse me, but which oil did we steal from Iraq? Do you have access to any information that identifies the particular refinery or pipeline from which we are siphoning oil, or are you just talking out of your anal sphincter?

We haven't taken a drop of their oil.
It wasn't about oil, it was about Vasoline Petroleum Jelly.
Saddam had a corner on the market, and we had to stop him.
We have already obtained and sent home 12 jars of Petroleum Jelly.
Funny conspiracy theory, foreign boy. Thanks.

That must be fun to think about all day.
Actually Halliburton ships fuel to Iraq for American use.
