Which war?

I don't think I ever claimed that original Iraq War (Desert Storm/Desert Shield) was about oil.

I might have claimed that we told Iraq to go ahead with the attack - but even then, how could that war be about oil? Weren't we getting large discounts on the price of oil at the time?

Now, this time around....I'm just not sure yet. ;-)
