If you buy the war for oil logic, the point is not to get gas for americans. The point is to make the oil companies (and their owners) richer. My understanding is that as the gas prices go up, the amount of profit the refining companies make goes up as well.
If true, the theory goes, Bush cronies get richer - thereby justifying the war.
Just for the record, I don't believe that was the reason for the war. Just a side effect that works well for the bush cronies. I would be interested to see numbers of oil companies profits over the last 10 years or so. If someone can demonstrate that profits are steady, I would be happy to change my opinion...
