Technically, not much should happen. We get a majority of our oil from Canada and Mexico. Unfortunately, the oil companies will use any excuse to raise prices and blame OPEC. References :
Gee that’s never happened before.
Especially not the last time that Bush senior attacked Iraq. References : That was sarcasm by the way. It totally happened the last time Bush senior attacked.
Well that would be on the Iraqi military, who at some point has to stand on it’s own two feet and defend it’s country from mischief. We are NOT the world police. References :
Do you know that we don’t get very much oil from them. Most of our oil comes from Canada. The problem is not a lack of oil but instead it is the refineries that are balking at getting upgrades to be less polluting, so they just shut down and the prices go up. References :
What is your point. Bush’s policy of colonizing the Mideast has driven oil prices sky high. They will continue to increase as long as we are occupying Iraq.
BTW, we did not invade Iraq for oil but to destroy Hussein’s stockpiles of WMDs….right? References :
They’re not going to bomb the oil wells. Didn’t you know that GP, Exxon and Mobile are signing contracts with Iraq this month? Why do you think the US government allows the US to buy into Iraqi businesses and investments? They arent’ going down. They are getting ready to become one very wealthy nation sitting on 32 trillion dollars of oil reserves. References :
US top trade groups already demand an end to oil speculation, but Congress do not act and Media do not report
"Leading energy experts across the country agree that recent, unprecedented jumps in crude oil prices are due, in large measure, to rampant speculation in the energy commodities markets.”
“19 of the nation’s top trade associations, consumer groups and labor organizations, the coalition urges “immediate reform in the widely-speculative energy commodity futures markets.”

What in the world makes you think they’d bomb the oil wells? They would depend on oil profits to make war on US.
