The US Invasion of Iraq: A War for Oil

Free

Yes, the Iraq War was a war for oil, and it was a war with winners: Big Oil Companies. It has been nearly twenty years since Operation Iraqi Freedom's bombs first landed in Baghdad. While most of the U.S.-led coalition forces have long since gone, Western oil companies are only getting started. Before the 2003 invasion, Iraq's oil industry was fully nationalized and closed to Western oil companies. A long, long war later, it is largely privatized and dominated by foreign firms.
