39. It is about strategic control.

Long term.

As our existing sources run out, we will be looking for more places to 'buy' it.

With Saddam in power, and planning on switching to the Euro for oil payments which is a whole other topic really really, American oil concerns couldn't have a anti-US dictator in charge of that oil.

With our history of Iraq, that oil would have gone to everyone in the world EXCEPT America.

I really believe that is the reason for the war.

No way Saddam would have been selling his oil to America. More likely to whomever our biggest enemy is.
