If you truly believe that the invasion for oil argument is a canard perhaps you could enlighten us with the real reasons for the invasion. Of course you won't be able to (because it will all be bullshit) but I would be greatly entertained by your attempt to do so.

The fact that the oil will end up on world the market does not matter. What matters is who gets to control the extraction and take the profits from the sale in addition to which currency it the oil will continue to be sold in.

You are not going to convince anyone here that the war in Iraq was about anything other than oil just because you think you have found the one hole in the argument. Go do some more research.
