America attacked Iraq to steal their OIL!!!!!!!!

[*Legend*]

Yes because america can't buy canada's oil or anything so we send troops over to the middle east to steal terroist's oil? Terroist's don't even have oil. Your teacher's an idiot.

I have one very important question. How many times were you dropped on your head as a child? The Middle East contains most of the world's oil, and the last I remembered, alqaeda's terrorist syndicate was centered in the Middle East.

Iraq has the fourth largest reserves of conventional oil in the world at 112 gigabarrels. Despite its vast oil reserves and low costs, production has not recovered since the US-led 2003 invasion of Iraq. Constant looting, insurgent attacks, and sabotage in the oil fields has limited production to around 0.5 gigabarrels per year at best. Political risk is thus the main constraint on Iraqi oil production and likely to remain so in the near future.
