lol @ saddam fucking US over with oil.. I suggest you look back to the 80's and read up why american and iraq really started to dislike eachtoher.
Iraq and the United States only shared a fraction of the oil. Iraq was the most powerful behind Saudi Arabia with oil distribution world wide, and also the only country who used that power to hold oil dependents by the balls. Why did Saddam due that? Because of the relationship between America and Iraq...a relationship based on what you "suggested" that I research into.
We went to war for oil. It's completely fucking obvious. Cheney and Bush are oil families..Bush's quest has been for oil, and now Halliburton oil is making 1 billion dollars a day in Iraq.
It is pretty fucking clear in sight.

If we really wanted oil we could have got it other ways. the war didn't just start because of oil.. i once thought that, but then i realized there are more reasons. maybe a more personal reason Bush had because his dad started a war and didn't finish it with them... hmm just maybe..
The agenda in the first Persian Gulf War was to end the invasion of Kuwait. Not rid Saddam Hussein. Personal reasons being that Oil Companies in the United States were getting damaged by Iraqi oil trade. It was Cheney's war more than it was Bush's.
