Well, in such case he's either an idiot or a scumbag, or both. But I don't believe in good intentions in politics, so he's a scumbag after all, while your reasoning is as silly as "they went for oil". Who needs Iraqi oil in price of military operation of that scale? You simply buy it.

Iraq has a lot of oil apparently, but I agree oil alone would be a stupid reason. There were other reasons.

Tactical position. Look at the countries US attacked the last 20 years, check them on the map and be amazed.
