You can't have it both ways on the oil argument. Bushoil wanted the Gulf War to help the Saudis and keep oil prices high? Or do they care much more about a stable supply of cheap oil? Bushoil is interested in money. It does not matter where it comes from. SA was fearful of invasion. If the Saudis had that much influence, Gulfwar2 would not be happening. Iraqi oil is far more likely than ever to hit the market within a few months. Everything that I have read points to the fact that US oil wanted oil stability. There was fear by Bushoil that Hussein could disrupt global oil supplies by controlling Iraq, Kuwait & SA(we disagree on SA). Thus Gulfwar1. Also, the oil interests currently at work obviously want to get their hands on Iraqi fields. I think this is half the reason for going to war. Oil companies want stability. It's about as easy as that.
