24. Iraq was literally a "Hostile Take-over" of the Iraqi Oil fields...
...in every sense of the words.

You wrote: "...If they didn't do anything for Iraq, that's probably because there was a deal under the table."

That's not quite right, It wasn't "under the table," Russia, France, and I think China too, DID have signed Oil Contracts with Iraq before the U.S. Invasion, but the invasion (and the looting after the fall of Baghdad) made all those contracts go away.

Nice huh?
