It was never about securing cheap gas for the U.S. It was about bombing the shit out of Iraq and then paying companies like Halliburton billions of dollars to rebuild it.

And he is selling the gas, he's just not using the money to drive down oil prices for common Americans. Why would he want to do that? He's using it to disguise the real cost of his foolish war and to line the pocket of his oil industry buds.

And sending a message to other OPEC nations thinking about trading oil in Euros instead of dollars.
