Yes. And I certainly can picture a p*ssed-off France losing its sweetheart under-the-table oil deal with Saddam, as well as oil industry revenues (Schlumberger), accusing us of wanting the oil, the income, and the business (Haliburton).

The US government officially decided that the war on Iraq was necessary six months before September 11th. The one and only reason for this was to improve Western access to Iraqi oil.

President Bush’s Cabinet agreed in April 2001 that ’Iraq remains a destabilising influence to the flow of oil to international markets from the Middle East’ and because this is an unacceptable risk to the US ’military intervention’ is necessary.
