the war was about ensuring AMERICAN access to iraq's reserves.

it doesn't matter if the oil started flowing immediately (though that was probably the hubristic plan) to our "addicted" consumers. what matters is that its OURS, not china's not india's not japan's & not europe's.

with saddam in place & his sociopath sons lined up to take over, there was no chance that sanctions could be lifted entirely unless we backed down & admitted we don't give 2 shits about democracy.

which we don't.

al gore would have tackled our energy security head on.
