I think the point he is trying to make is that oil companies benefit from the high price of oil regardless of where the oil comes from. If you think in terms of conspiracies, then invading Iraq may not be about getting the oil in Iraq --- it may be about DISRUPTING the oil from Iraq in order to drive up the price of oil that you get from somewhere else. Whether you believe it is intentional or not, US oil companies are making record profits on the high price of oil, and the reason is the disruption of oil production in Iraq. Knock out one source of supply, and if the demand stays the same (and it does), then the price goes up (and it did, about triple).
