I still maintain that the US corporate leader game plan, since '89, has been to keep Iraq's oil off market; especially since Saddam threatened to flood markets with cheap Iraqi oil. Consider also that corporate oil interests reinvested following the fall of the Shah of Iran in '79 where a source for cheap oil was lost. It's my understanding that, with oil, it generally takes 10 years or so for investment to become profitable. The Shah was overthrown in '79 and 10 years later Saddam's oil was taken off the market. A cozy corporate irony perhaps, enhanced by GOPwinger oilman politics?
