We went to all this trouble to steal the oil, and now the Chinese are getting it?

Iraq to revive oil deal with China By SINAN SALAHEDDIN, Associated Press Writer
32 minutes ago

BAGHDAD - Iraq and China are set to revive a $1.2 billion oil deal that was canceled after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, the Iraq's oil ministry said Sunday.
 
An initial agreement with China is expected to be signed at the end of August to develop the billion-barrel Ahdab oil field south of Baghdad, the ministry said in a statement.

Sometimes geopolitics isn't funny, and sometimes it is...(!)

What? Bush administration was honest? They didn't go there for oil? But for freedom, democracy and against WMD?

Please, no lectures from the French. Your government lied and sold weapons to the Iraqis for years.

Yes, like that is so morally equivalent to invading and conquering an entire country without a casus belli.
