I will not feed the troll.... 9busy feeding the other one)

but...

Prognosis, in your exhaustive research you have of course unearthed the startling fac tthat there is no oil shortage and the US now has more domestic oil the the entire ME combined? What can't be... well it is. once oil went past $50 a barrel things like oil sands and oil shale became economically viable.

Currently the US has jsut over 1.2 barrels worth of oil in oil shale deposits. The world also has Alberta's oil sands. Ther eis no oil shortage and a permament price above $50 benifits the west by freeing us from the whims of the mullahs.

So why would we want Iraq's oil?
