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

the stuff in my post say that their is no possibility that they attacked iraq because of political action. do you know what happened in the 90's? iraq invaded quwait, america came and helped them, and america has an amry base in quwait, quwait which also has a high reserve of oil. so america defended quwait for justice? all the soldiers lost in both wars against iraq for democracy?  obviously you don't know about the relationship btw the us and the middle east. in the 1970's all arab countries stoped giving oil to the us for months and that is when the first idea of hybrid cars started to occur. isreal did a massive deal with nissan so they could have in a couple of years, cars which work by electricity, and instead of gas stations they will have charge stations, this all points out how oil is important. i live in the middle east, i know how things are here, ever wonder why america has such an important relationship with isreal?

do you have proof that america invaded for so it doesnt appear weak? yes i can play the same game.

before the war against iraq bush said that they are going on a "crusade"(yes he used the worst world possible) against terrorism, turns out their are no terrorists, also the war iraq shows americas weakness against militias, against people who know their streets, against people who arent afraid of death, so if they did go for to show that they are strong then it absolutely failed,

Nope, no proof that America invaded so that it didn't appear weak. I'm merely saying that it's my opinion and quite a viable alternative to invading for oil. I opened this thread to ask for evidence that America invaded Iraq for oil which is why I was hoping you would post some rather than just rhetoric.

Since all you've actually posted so far is rhetoric I don't really feel the need to respond any more unless you post even some indirect proof of the benefits America has gained oil-wise from invading Iraq.
