Where you loose me, is when you say "it's all about OIL industry interests". That "all" bothers me.

All is legitimate in the sense that it was the first cause. Oil is the reason that attention was paid to certain countries like Iran and Iraq, then other considerations refined the choice to Iraq. Had it not been for oil then Iraq would have been some kind of add-on thought like Libya or Korea. Any other consideration could have been changed and Iraq would still have been attacked, but without the oil the attack would have happened elsewhere, probably Iran. In that sense, it is all about oil.
