No one lied, and any exaggeration was probably inadvertent, the result of believing something in advance of complete proof. If they wanted oil, we have enough against the Saudi regime, which is militarily useless, that we could have rationalized attacking it. Heck, we had troops on their soil! And there are fewer Saudis than Iraqis, there would have been a more controllable populace. Why didn't we take over Saudi Arabia? The idea that we attacked Iraq merely to get its oil is stupid......
