Your post is mostly supposition with the assumption of ulterior motive No, it's not supposition, not since the Iraqi Oil Ministry documents listing who got the oil contracts was found. Saddam was paying out billions with a definite goal in mind. Funny, for all the crying of the Left of 'no blood for oil,' they can't look in front of their noses to see who really ran their foreign policies for profit. Surely a wide-open Iraq, with rebuilding contracts for all coalition participants, would have benefitted France and Germany, at least, if not also Russia and China? They had a bird in the hand with Saddam (Oil for Food) and 2 birds in the bush promised as well (oil contracts). Why on earth should they prefer wide open competition which they might or not might not get a good share of? They had a sure thing going already.
