"It's the oil, stupid"

If the USA media spent just half the time investigating the oil politics as it does the sectarian politics, in Iraq, then we might get somewhere, as a Nation, in our understanding of what is happening in Iraq.

1. Its more than that now
Its a war to control the oil. Iran wants it we want it the Iraq's deserve it. Lets face it we are controlled by it. I don't even trust our Democrats at this time because of that rich black gold. I know whats right the Iraq's should control their own oil but can they?
