Walking In Wuhan

Since invading Iraq in 2003, there were rumblings that Saddam Hussein and WMDs were secondary reasons for the invasion -- the primary reason being oil. Iraq sits atop one of the world's largest oil sources, which is now in the hands of a "democratic" and less-than-solid government. So, it should come as no surprise that oil companies are now being allowed back into the country -- the way things were before Saddam -- by way of no-bid contracts. So, we invade a foreign country under faulty intelligence, take it over, democratize it, and then turn around and give control of the majority of that oil to our companies at a time when oil has never been more expensive. I just don't even know where to begin.
