It was a convenient meme..but I wouldn't be criticizing Dems when Bush became a POTUS of the neocons
For 6 years the leftwing State media told us that Bush invaded Iraq so he could steal all their oil. I'm still waiting.
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
— Joe Biden on Obama.
Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

A convenient meme? ... It was a fake news story for six years that asserted Bush was stealing all of Iraq's oil.

You guys take it way too literally. It wasn't about "taking the oil." It was about controlling the oil-rich region - the reason for ALL of our actions in the Mideast for decades.
The war was definitely about oil, as Iraq 1 was.
you are at least getting there..It was a strategic move ( utterly FUBAR -but in their minds) -much like we keep the Straits of Hormuz open.
The problem is that invading Iraq isn't even anywhere on the same scale as beating back Iranian patrol boats.
Oil is always part of the equation there, but the neocons were hellbent on regime change for many more reasons post 9-11
That it would pay for itself came from the Bush puppet masters, idiot.
"The projections: Ahead of and shortly after the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, a number of officials, including former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy Paul Wolfowitz suggested the war could be done on the cheap and that it would largely pay for itself. In October 2003, Rumsfeld told a press conference about President Bush's request for $21 billion for Iraq and Afghan reconstruction that "the $20 billion the president requested is not intended to cover all of Iraq's needs. The bulk of the funds for Iraq's reconstruction will come from Iraqis -- from oil revenues, recovered assets, international trade, direct foreign investment, as well as some contributions we've already received and hope to receive from the international community." In March 2003, Mr. Wolfowitz told Congress that "we're really dealing with a country that could finance its own reconstruction." In April 2003, the Pentagon said the war would cost about $2 billion a month, and in July of that year Rumsfeld increased that estimate to $4 billion."

You may see it yet. Your messiah says it's okay, to hell with legality.
"I’ve always said -- shouldn’t be there, but if we’re going to get out, take the oil," Trump told moderator Matt Lauer at NBC’s Commander-in-Chief Forum on Sept. 7, 2016. "If we would have taken the oil, you wouldn’t have ISIS, because ISIS formed with the power and the wealth of that oil."
When Lauer pressed Trump on how he would have accomplished this, Trump said the United States would have to "leave a certain group behind and you would take various sections where they have the oil. … You know, it used to be to the victor belong the spoils. Now, there was no victor there, believe me. There was no victor. But I always said: Take the oil."
Trump has publicly offered this idea numerous times. Here are just a few examples:
• "ISIS is taking over a lot of the oil and certain areas of Iraq. And I said you take away their wealth, that you go and knock the hell out of the oil, take back the oil. We take over the oil, which we should have done in the first place." Meet the Press, Aug. 16, 2015
• "I told you very early on, if we're going to leave, take the oil, because, right now, you know who has the oil." CNN’s State of the Union, Oct. 25, 2015
• "I have long said that we should have kept the oil in Iraq." Foreign policy speech in Youngstown, Ohio, Aug. 15, 2016
