His unbounded, unfettered , rabid Ego !!
You did say "direct" benefit--did you not ?
All other benefits he is deriving are indirect, but they Are there !!
A person could write a reference library on the "indirect" benefits that he is receiving through these actions !!
It still stuns me to this very moment that given the original reasonings for invading a country that had not attacked us to begin with --- today the reasonings have altered into a litany of CAUSES ---most of which center around THE PERCEIVED THREAT that supposedly existed there (even without the WMD) all of which still presents an interesting concept--- invasion of others on perceptions OF threats---a major change of policy and a extraordinary dangerous concept--- IF OUR ACTUAL INTELLIGENCE WAS THIS WRONG (ie WMD) HOW THEN COULD OUR PERCEPTIONS OF IMPENDING THREATS BE SEEN AS SOLID FACT ???

Oil of course is one reason, but maybe a larger one would be payback to those political contributions from the manufactures of war materials and supplies.
These companies pay huge sums into the coffers of presidential candidates as well as congressman etc. for political favors if elected. They will fund both sides in some instances. But because all federal elections in the USA are controlled by those who benefit the most it really makes no difference who wins.
The big flap between the Democrats and the Republicans is just smoke and mirrors to control the minds of the general public who do not care what is going on as long as they get to watch their pro sports and eat their munchies. Most don't even know they are about to loose their country with the formation of the North American Union.
Wake up people of Canada, USA, and Mexico your days are numbered as a country. You might go read/watch the below information.

Getting oil from Iraq is a misconception. The US has not received any oil from them whatsoever.
The purpose of the invasion was to overthrow Saddam Hussein and attempt to place a non-dictatorship government in his place. If we had not done so, Hussein was in time capable of threatening his neighbors, Israel, and perhaps the entire region, had he become nuclear capable.
You cannot have madmen and henchmen developing nuclear weapons. People tend to forget that this man poison gassed his own people. Do we really need such an unstable person at the helm of a future nuclear capable country?
The world condemns the US now for invading Iraq, but had a nuclear device been set off in anger, we would have heard much worse for NOT acting. Which would you prefer?

Bush is happy and consider himself great winner in the war against Iraq because he was able to achieve the dreams of Israelis and Zionists by killing precedent Saddam and destroying Iraqi infrastructure and killing Iraqis to secure good strategical and political situation to Israel(not to the USA and the Americans).

War profiteering. If you don't think he's getting kickbacks by the truckload after he leaves office, you're sadly naive.

Nothing absolutely nothing. This whole "war for oil" propaganda has worn so thin.
