But which US national (economic) interest has been advanced by the Iraq invasion/occupation?

Who funded the Bush/Cheney coup?

Oil interests have been the obvious winners.

By disrupting the flow from Iraq, producers have been receiving a premium for the oil they have available.(Think Mobil, Exxon, Saudis, etc...)

Then they can move into what is now the Iraq reserve and sell us the oil that was prevented from reaching market at the same higher prices.

What do you think that Cheney oil meeting years ago was about?
