It is about the oil but most importantly it is about cleaning Daddy's name and going where his father couldn't go before. Bush jr. was a failure at everything he tried... business, military even his marriage is s*** so he let himslef be used as a puppet to try to get back on Daddy' side.

Although oil is an obvious benefit, there is another less possible scenario.
The modernization of U.S. air-force. The war in Iraq proved that Air-force is the major force in army instead of Navy. In WWII, Navy is everything in battle. Now it is air-force.
Then, it made a good reason to modernize U.S. air-force. 10 years ago, F15 was supposed to be replacing by F22. However, the end of cold war and the new russia born caused no reason for such replace. Then, there is a period of time to develop F35, a lower cost version of modern fighter.
The war of terrorism gave U.S. Air-force to deploy new fighter and get F15 retired. So far, more than 100 F22 have been deployed.

If oil was our only concern, then wouldn't it have been cheaper to just lift the sanctions or even invade Venezuela, since it is a lot closer. There is a lot more at stake than just oil, in that area of the world. Besides, like it or not, our economy is reliant on oil so it is in our national interest to secure our access to this resource. Valid enough reason to go to war.

no it is not about oil. It is about Bush spreading his personal ideology to other parts of the world. He means well, but I am afraid he is misguided in his pursuits and highly inconsiderate to others viewpoints and the Muslim culture. What proof is there that it is about oil? The US is not ciphoning off oil or else it would be all over the news and the Democrats would have tore the Republicans up for it.

of course its about the oil. the U.S. just wants cheap oil and to take over the oil in iraq as the british did in iran in the early 1900's. the only reason the entire world doesnt know about it is the media is very connected with the government. so no one knows about this very much. it is completly unfair, the U.S. using its military power is invading another country for oil. invading another country for oil. think about it.
