People usually blame the Iraq on the U.S greed for oil and that is said to be the prime reason for the invasion. It is true that oil in Iraq was one of the motivations for the war but it was not for the benefit of the U.S but for the benefit of Israel.

That's also what Ryan Dawson says, not for oil but for Israoil.

Gary Vogler's book 'Iraq and the Politics of Oil' is a great read. He stands for the US but through his research discovered that the war on Iraq was largely an Israeli operation.

Here's a review:

Why did we go to war ? It’s been obvious for a long time that there were no WMD’s. That was all a smokescreen. It wasn’t to enrich major oil companies and fortunately, the author and others in key roles on the ground would have walked away if they sensed anything along those lines.

Did we sacrifice thousands (4000+) of lives and even more casualties (30000+) for some ulterior motives (secret agenda) ? That would seem to be the case. If the reader truly understands the forces that drive our foreign policy with regard to the Middle East then you’ll be seeing confirmatory evidence step by step along the way. For those who haven’t researched the subject (similar to the author early on), then you will come to realize over time what the true objective was as the pieces come together.

The book will provide insight into the following and many other questions: Why did key civilian Pentagon leaders cheer about going to war when Colin Powell stated the (erroneous) case to the UN? What were their true allegiances?

Why was there so much interest by these same leaders about a secret crude oil pipeline to Israel ?

Why did the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) policy of only selling Iraqi crude oil directly to consumers (refiners) later change to involve Glencore - a middle man (founded by Marc Rich who had been previously indicted by the US on dozens of counts only to receive a controversial pardon by Bill Clinton as he left office) ? Marc Rich had been a key supplier of oil to Israel over many years including oil from Iran even though sanctions were in place.
