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

theoretic? it is true that the arab countries stopped giving the us oil in 1970s, and thats how the idea of a hybrid car came to mind. it is true that bush said we are going on a crusade agasinst terrorism and their were no terrorists, so now it has to do with politics, so america spent billions of dollars they gave away lives for political reasons, your too blind to realise what your country did wrong. america is the most hated country in the world just because they are the most powerful, not because they abuse their power and put their noses where it doesnt belong.

il let you believe what you want, after all how can a man change his views if he only knows his countries history.

Rhetoric is the art of speaking, but the way I meant it was more colloquial and a bit hard to explain. Basically meant that it was all stating a certain position without really addressing my points.

Also as I said earlier in the thread I'm most definitely not American (Kiwi thank you very much =P) and I don't support the war in Iraq. I don't even particularly like America as a state to be honest.

 

Also yes I believe America spent billions of dollars and thousands of lives for political reasons. As I said, I'm not actually trying to defend America here.

ahh ok, sorry for being aggressive. ofcourse their isnt actual proof that they went for oil, the us government would never let that happen. i live in the middle east, ive talked to people in iraq, i know what the us does in the middle east, they even tried to stop my countries civil war about 30 years ago, and i believe that they went for oil.

well everyone has their opinion, i dont hate america, but i hate their foreign policy. america are taking more loses then gains from the war in iraq, but poor iraq the country is destroyed.
