I don't get why someone would invade Afghanistan for oil. That would be like attacking Egypt for snow.

Furthermore, I'd love for someone to show me a graph showing how much of our current oil supply is from Iraq.

I can't provide a graph, but I can provide the top ten...

The top ten countries that the U.S. imports oil from:

1. Canada

2. Mexico

3. Saudi Arabia

4. Venezuela

5. Nigeria

6. Angola

7. Iraq

8. Algeria

9. United Kingdom

10. Brazil

Which brings me to my next point, how long will it be until USA invades Canada? J/k

But no, the war isn't about oil (Although that is a minor "spoil of war"). The cost of the war on terrorism is fast approaching $1trillion, I would be amazed if the US have made anywhere near that amount on oil from Iraq.
