How's Your Oil?

I want to "float" a little conspiracy theory;

Since the US invaded Iraq, oil prices have rocketed.

Ok, that said, oil production in Iraq tanked at the same time prices spiked and they have not gotten their production back up to "par".

So, did we invade Iraq, just so we could spike oil prices and put billions (trillions?) of dollars into the pockets of George Bush's buddies (and himself, an "oil man")??

It wasn't the first time we did this either. Donny Rumsfeld, under Reagan, spurned Iraq to attack Iran in the early 80's. Look at what happened then (see chart above)? Well, at this point, Iraq oil production tanked, but our prices (for once) did not spike. Why the hell not? Oh right, "price control".

This is all a scam, we have lost 4000+ brave Soldiers, Sailors, Airman and Marines, just to fleece our own citizens. Tens of thousands seriously maimed. That's why we went to war, for profits. John McCain calls this a success. I guess it is, for him and his pals.
