This is interesting to say the least. When I was in Iraq, I couldn't tell you how many times I heard that we were there for the oil.
Did any US oil company (or Brit company for that matter) receive a long term oil agreement in the bidding for oil service contracts in Iraq?
(COMMENT)
Unless the sidebar intent was to deliberately drive oil prices up, by making Iraqi oil more expensive, then it is not likely that oil had anything to do with the Iraq War as a motive.
Most Respectfully,

(QUESTION)A similar problem existed in Iraq before the US invasion as Iraq had given lucrative oil deals to France and other countries...Did the invasion nullify the oil contracts? Addressed to RoccoR
