Where the US gets its oil is not the same as where companies get their oil and profits. A multi-national with foreign subsidiaries does not need to sell oil to the US - so your attempt at a rebuttal is a swing and a miss.
Companies don't control American foreign policy--- even well connected ones.
The fact that we pulled out of Iraq rather than remaining there only cements the idea that it wasn't a war of "colonialism".
