Why Is Oil Worth Fighting For ?

The second reason,was to preserve the integrity of the well-heads,in order to continue to provide a source of funds for the Iraqi economy,in a post-saddam Iraq,critical for reconstruction and needed repair of infrastructure.
All 15 members of the UN Security Council,voted unanimously to authorize the use of force,in order to git saddam to comply with over 12 years of UN resolutions-therefore,the invasion of Iraq,was authorized by the UN.
Saddam,had the means,motive and opportunity,to pose a clear and present danger to the US,it was President Bush's duty,not to gamble on American security with a known and proven madman,in the form of saddam. Every time that saddam fired on US fighter jets,it was an act of war against the US,he was allowed to git away with that crap for years,because of a spineless UN and a spineless Clintoon.
