Is there any evidence for the Iraq War being about oil?

the US gave the contract to rebuild the Iraqui oil feilds to Halliburton (Dick Cheney's) company.

And who were they supposed to give it to?

someone who wasn't the vice president of the country invading Iraq?

So, reccomend a company in your infinite wisdom.

Reccomend an American company that could conduct reconstruction of the oil fields that had the size and scope of ability to take care of such a project. Someone that has major offices based in both the US and Mid East, with close ties to projects in the area.

Go ahead, I'm waiting.

I dont know enough of american oil companies to pick one, but don't u think that it's fishy that the (at the time) vice president of the USA who just declared war on a country known for being rich in oil is also in charge of one of the largest oil companies in the world. It just seems like a conflict of interest to me.
