He didn't steal Iraq's oil, because the war to secure the peace was going so poorly they finally realized that if they stole the oil, they'd unite the whole Muslim world against us. There plan was flawed from day 1.

If he was out to stop the proliferation of WMD, why not North Korea? Why not Iran? He went after Iraq, because it was the easiest of the bunch and because they had oil. We had Saddam pinned down in no fly zones. Saddam was powerless. There was only one reason to go in and that was oil.
