As for a war for oil, that's a joke, we only get 30% of our oil from that region (none of which is from Iraq). Let's say it is just for oil, wouldn't it be alot smarter and alot better politically to drill in the hellhole that is ANWAR? We've got 100% of our oil needs for the next 35 years just sitting there.
You know why we get no oil from Iraq? Because of sanctions against Iraq. If there were no sanctions against Iraq, the US would still not recive much oil directly from Iraq, becuase Iraq refuses to give us deals (although there were post sanction deals planned for other countries like France Germany and Russia).

Do you really beleive that the Iraqi government, which will be composed of an entirely American administration, will not give preferential treatment to US companies?

Why don't we drill somewhere else? That is because of how rediculously cheap it is to drill the oil in Iraq and how high quality the oil is. This is the same reason why the Russians are so interesterd in Iraqi oil even though they have lots of oil themselves.
