Anyone who imagines that Iraqi oil is going to pay the $100 billion bill for a war there is in fantasyland.

Otherwise known as FADG!

Talk about oil and Iraq is just that: A lot of talk

This article is exactly right. The idea that many have that the US is going to "take" Iraq's oil is nonsense. We saved Kuwait and we have troops in Saudi Arabia. Have we "taken" their oil? Well we buy some of it at the market price, but these countries oil industries are still run by their national oil companies just as they have been for 30 or so years.
