The business case for grabbing the Iraqi oil didn't prove right. It is not economical. Military and political costs are too high. Thus no worth the effort. Better leave the Iraqis to sort out the mess and buy that oil by paying market prices but selling (and overcharging) security hardware and services for the Iraqi government to control the production and export of that oil. Standard stuff that Cold War era dictatorships have done in the past. If colonies were economical, the British -who had a lot of experience in that kind of arrangement, would had not given them away. I knew already all that: Thus I always said, from day one: Pizza is the best solution.
