No. It's because Iraq has THE LARGEST, non-peeked reserve in the world. Oil contracts to these reserves had been granted to French, German and Russian interests given the satisfaction of WMD inspections. Funny (isn't it) that Cheney didn't give these inspections enough time to complete before invading and nullifying said contracts. I think the idea was that, by now, Exxon Mobile and BP would be pumping away....

It relies upon on what fee you're speaking. Canada has the international's best reserves of oil at on the instant's expenditures and technologies. If the fee is going to assert $two hundred/barrel and new technologies is superior, there are some very large reserves in shales in Wyoming and Colorado.

Follow the bread crumbs here...
1980s, President Reagan reflagged oil tankers passing through the region to insure the world's economy wouldn't get sunk.
Desert Shield/Storm because Saddam invaded Kuwait for oil and a bigger sea port. Hostilities ended with U.N. sanctioned Cease Fire Agreement.
At least 17 santions of U.N. agreement broke by Saddam.
U.N. refused to uphold Cease-Fire Agreement because key members (French, German and Russians) were accepting bribes from Saddam for U.N.s "Food For Oil" Program.
Second Gulf war errupts, coalition forces lead by U.S and Great Britain.
Syria and Iran begin sending in suicide bombers to destabilize region and start sectarian war. If they win, they will be incharge of major oil supplies for entire world and world economy.
Get the picture? Have fun feeding yourself if they win. Just put a gun to your head and pull the trigger.

That's a possible reason.
I've heard all kinds of valid reasons... everything from Saddam's plans to change Iraq's currency to the fact he tried to have Bush Sr assassinated.
I honestly doubt we will ever know the 'real' reason 100%.
