Trying to gain control of larger share of world's energy sources=imperalism.

Another "cute" thought, but it doesn't fly. The Iraqis control their oil. Our policy regarding that has been clearly stated. All of Iraq's oil is presently being used for their benefit. Not ours. We'll never control Iraq's oil.

Next?

One can discuss the reasons for invading, there is 98954737348 threads about it already, but thinking that energy control (more specifically: making sure oil is controlled by a friendly as opposed to a hostile government) isn't a factor in US' priority of foreign policy is naive. You think the Saudi government would have gotten US support if it was a ordinary African dictatorship with no oil?
