I thought the WOT was all about OIL , not ousting dictators?
I thought it was about neither, that it was to remove states that supported terrorism and to hunt down terrorist/terrorist groups. If it was/is about oil, then they are doing a damned terrible job of it. It has definitely helped keep terrorist infiltration into the US down and their resources focused on our forces instead of our civilians, but longterm change in the region and oil? Not so good of a job. Hell, if oil was the only reason, just the capacity in Iraq should of been able to forces prices far below what we see now.
