The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

Why do some liberals and conspiracy theorists equate the Iraq war with Bush wanting to make money off of oil?

Here’s the cold, hard fact: Bush has not made one red cent off of Iraqi oil. Period. If anything, the new Iraqi government has made money off of oil, and perhaps one could say the American people have benefited from purchasing oil from Iraq, but the fact remains that Iraqi oil has *never* been in our control.
Edge Caliber: Yes, we have, because it’s been made available to us now, but it’s also sold to a load of other countries besides ours.
Oh yeah, and keep in mind that the American people gaining some indirect benefit of a new oil supplier != Bush directly lining his pockets from oil revenues
