To those that don't understand the question, I do not think we are fighting for oil.

Maybe I am just being naive but it would seem to me that if it was about oil that we would have a lot more troops over there protecting the pipelines. I mean wouldn't that make sense?

with insurgents blowing up pipelines and the like, not one tanker has made it to the USA. Iraq has barely enough oil for itself in many areas.

Who gained the contracts for the oil fields in Iraq? Halliburton.
So instead of in tanks-worth, I'll give a dollar amount for one set of contracts: $ 4.9 BILLION

Have you seen a drastic drop in gas prices that no-one else has
seen. If that were the case, gas would be at $1.50 a gallon.
But to give you a short answer, NO! NONE!!
