Up until the Iraq War we were receiving a steady upward trend in supply of oil from Iraq. In 2002, we see a large drop off (during the WMD investigation period and leading up to the war) At the end of 2003 - present we see a very steady oil supply coming to America from Iraq (with a overall slightly downward trend). Over that entire 6 (plus) year peroid, has the rate gone up? Not really, nor has the rate gotten anywhere NEAR the peak before the War began.
Unless evidence comes out that Iraq was planning on cutting off the supply after the 2002 year (and there is not any I am aware of) I do not see how we went to war just for oil. If we did, wouldnt our supply SINCE the war be greater if not equal to what it was before the war?
