But, you're right, it's the WMD that bother us most.

I, definitely, no longer think this. It's all about oil policy. Everything else is ancillary. We would be saying something on the order of "have fun, guys, it's not our fight" if it were not for the presence of the oil. The wmd arguments follow on that one. He gets nuclear, it increase his prospects of gaining more control over oil markets.

That's my present reading of Pollock's argument. And it makes sense to me.
