But we fought Iraq for cheap oil!!!

I could have sworn our fearless leader, and his worthy staff kept
saying we had to invade to find Iraq's weapons of mass destruction,
and because Iraq was a terrorist nation.

Was he, what's that word I'm looking for, I don't know... oh yeh,
WRONG?

"We know they have weapons of mass destruction, and we know where they

“There’s a lot of money to pay for this that doesn’t have to be U.S.
taxpayer money, and it starts with the assets of the Iraqi people…and
on a rough recollection, the oil revenues of that country could bring
between $50 and $100 billion over the course of the next two or three
years…We’re dealing with a country that can really finance its own
reconstruction, and relatively soon.” Deputy Defense Secretary Paul
Wolfowitz: [Source: House Committee on Appropriations Hearing on a
