This whole war was far more political than any one admits oil for food was not the only reason for France and Germany to oppose us. It was also jockeying for position inside the EU Britain had joined us on an administrative level and they did it first. This put two other major factors in the EU in a strange position that was convenient to blame on America. This war has very little to do with terrorism or human rights it was about our economy. The people that bankrolled GWB presidency needed to make the money back a strong economy does this for the big heads and easily available oil makes a strong economy. Oil creates jobs makes people money and lets people fill up there SUV’s with nice available gas keeping the middle happy. Politics, politics, politics it all came down to reelection unfortunately there were some minor backfires.
