For the 31 who said "oil".......can you please tell me where the hell it's at?

Probably hidden somewhere on Dubya's ranch

It must be.....because a war for oil for the rest of us, it wasn't.

The argument that I heard from the oil conspiracy theorists was that the war was to remove Iraq's oil from the market permanently, thus jacking up the price of oil further and making the oil companies a nice mint by taking a source of oil offline: the more limited the amount of oil, the higher the price, and the larger the profits.  Note that I don't buy that theory any more than the other one, but that effect certainly occurred.
