Yeah I know no other politicians even ones with noble aspirations did not try to make money, yes oil is a factor in the iraq war, but if you think it was the only reason then you are a simple thinker, the whole neocon strategy has little to do with money, it is a philosophy of how they think they can reshape the world to spread democracy, now of course once the decision is made they are going to exploit the resources for their corporate buddies, which is wrong, but you can see it from their side when they say hey none of the allies wanted to fight iraq so american companies should get all of the contracts, well they should not have been no bid contracts and while I don't care if any european companies get a shot since they didn't shed any blood, save a small number of casulties, the iraqi people should share in the rebuilding of their own country, that is definitely wrong
and by the way Clinton did the same thing in the summer of the 2000 election, gas prices were rising so he tapped the strategic reserves
