Uhhh, you might want to read further-
In the lead-up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq 15 years ago, one factor in the debate was the notion that the the war would almost pay for itself.“The oil revenue of that country could bring between $50 [billion] and $100 billion over the course of the next two or three years,” Paul Wolfowitz, then the U.S deputy secretary of defense, told a congressional panel in March 2003. “We're dealing with a country that could really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon.”
So, no, we did not plan on taking their oil. It was stated they could pay for their reconstruction through THEIR own oil revenues.
Lol, yeah because we stole Iraq’s oil, right?
No, we didn’t.
Not for lack of trying.
Incompetence is no defense
No, we never tried. That is simply a lie.
Oil Was Supposed to Rebuild Iraq - The Atlantic
We certainly planned to.
