what material conquest? and what what material did AMRIKA got out of that Iraq war ET? With the money they spent there in war., AMRIKA could have brought MORE OIL than the TOTAL OIL that Iraq has under its soil. Let me give you some figures and links here..
So wars of conquest never end up biting the conquerors on the ass? Occupiers are never forced to retreat?
So Saddam Hussein was selling us oil, even when we had an embargo against his oil? LOL

In 2000, Big Oil, including Exxon, Chevron, BP and Shell, spent more money to get fellow oilmen Bush and Cheney into office than they had spent on any previous election. Just over a week into Bush's first term, their efforts paid off when the National Energy Policy Development Group, chaired by Cheney, was formed, bringing the administration and the oil companies together to plot our collective energy future. In March, the task force reviewed lists and maps outlining Iraq's entire oil productive capacity.
Planning for a military invasion was soon under way. Bush's first Treasury secretary, Paul O'Neill, said in 2004, "Already by February (2001), the talk was mostly about logistics. Not the why (to invade Iraq), but the how and how quickly."
In its final report in May 2001 (PDF), the task force argued that Middle Eastern countries should be urged "to open up areas of their energy sectors to foreign investment." This is precisely what has been achieved in Iraq.
This Iraq Hydrocarbons Law, partially drafted by the Western oil industry, would lock the nation into private foreign investment under the most corporate-friendly terms. The Bush administration pushed the Iraqi government both publicly and privately to pass the law. And in January 2007, as the ''surge" of 20,000 additional American troops was being finalized, the president set specific benchmarks for the Iraqi government, including the passage of new oil legislation to "promote investment, national unity, and reconciliation."
"In conclusion For the Price of the Iraq War, The U.S. Could Have a 100% Renewable Power System"
Yeah, the oil companies really want that.
Do you live totally isolated from mainstream society or what?
