The reasons for war in Iraq are pretty simple.
1. A base for US power in the Middle East, neo-imperalism is the phrase I believe.
2. Strategic resources in Iraq.
3. Saddam has a bad history with the Bush clan, and Iraq would be one of the easier Middle Eastern countrys to topple.
As for your friend, I have no idea what he was trying to prove with those statements (war for oil?). If you could state his greater point in your discussion, I might be able to answer what you are asking.
