We both know this is about the oil, so let them get their war over with first, the oil will remain in the ground just waiting for our Oil Barrons to show up and secure it. as far as the damage we've done to Iraq, when the oil begins to flow, they will be the richest nation on earth. Every man woman and child will be well off. The oil sharing laws are designed to share the wealth. The US and Briton are trying to write themselves into the laws and that is what is causing the governmental turmoil in Iraq. When we leave, there will be a much higher chance of making the government work. there will be some disturbances and I'd bet a new president and a few other members of parliment or whatever they call their government, but we are the main problem. So my first priority would be to get the fuck out.
This war was started to keep Iraqi oil in the ground. Saddam's biggest crime was not WMDs - it was developing Iraqi oil fields.

This was never about getting Iraqi oil. Their fields/oil rights were divided in the 1920's, with the intent to keep the oil in the ground to keep supplies down.
