Its not about the WMD, its about the oil, but the debate will heats up when oil is mention.\n\nLets look at how this all turn out, American planner knew that there were not WMD, they also knew that by attacking Iraq, two possibility can occurs;\n- winning the war\n- not winning the war\n\nIf American win the war, the oil will flush, but it will not help American economy in any way by having too much oil in the market, likewise, American planner also knew that oil peak had passed, whats left are good enough for the next few decades, this in one thing we have to consider about.\n\nIf American did not win the war or the war prolong, the oil supply will be affected, oil price will go out, again will this affect the American economy? not much as most of the refineries are located in the west, having oil and having gas are 2 different thing.\n\nAmerican can still get their oil somewhere, may not be the cheapest, but there are supplies.\n\nOverall if you look how all this evolve, I will say that all of this is about containtment, after all the rising oil price only help the Russian become more communist/socialist, the Arabs with money but still can't figure out what to do with the money.\n\nThen who are being contained? think about this.
