Read the book "The Prize" and you will find out the real reason Bush-Cheney used 9-11 as a phony excuse to invade Iraq. It was all about breaking the oil deals Saddam had made and replacing them with new deals giving Exxon, Chevron and BP the lion's share of the second largest fields in the world, plus huge new contracts for Halliburton. It's all about replacing 10-90% splits with 70-30% splits payable to the host country by big oil. That means trillions of dollars.

Only, the whole thing was carried out so incompetently, despite the bravery of our troops, that four years later Bushies still have not been able to steal nor revive the Iraqi fields as they planned. But they are trying. They want those oil deals before Bush leaves office.

And what do US taxpayers get out of it? $3 gas, a trillion dollar debt to pay and 4000+ US dead and 25,000+ US wounded, plus our entire military and national reputation in tatters and creepy anti-Amrican Islamics much stronger than before, including a comeback for AL Qaida now that Bush dropped the ball on Afghanistan when we had them on the ropes.
