If oil is in shorter supply it makes more sense to grab the oil we can, even if its costly to do so, than if oil is plentiful.

Iraq has the 2nd largest reserves on the planet and we invaded them to assure our supplies from there no matter what political reasons we were given.

Not really. To the extent oil was an issue, it was more a concern about a potential threat to Kuwaiti and Saudi supplies, than Iraqi oil.
