Ok AA the War for Oil is a fallacious argument and doesn’t stand the test of Economics 101. If we wanted the oil, it would have been cheaper to just get UN sanctions lifted and trade Saddam for it. The days of war for economic gain are long gone. Military operations are far too expensive.

War for fame...come on

Saddam played games with the UN for years over the WMD inspections. He had as much to do with us believing he had the weapons, as did the intelligence assumptions.
