Sorry but you are just plain wrong about the oil.The UN is worthless when it comes to military action, I was just stating he wouldn't have kicked out the inspectors and gave incomplete BS reports, if he had nothing to hide.I still don't get why you keep bringing up other places, like I said Iraq was a start, we can't take action against every bad regime at the same time.Chemical weapons are far more threatening to us anyway, and Iraq had considerable amounts that are missing.

Here's a graph of our oil imports from the whole persian gulf since 1973 (only a small percentage comes from Iraq).The whole oil thing is just bullshit, its far cheaper for us to get oil from our other supplies (off shore, wells, etc) than it is to import from the persian gulf.
