I must have missed the part of the NYT article that proves the war was about oil. I didn't miss the part that the new contracts are very advantageous for Iraq and less so for the oil companies.

The Iraq war wasn't about oil, it was about regime change. Does that fact make it a good idea? No. It was a very bad idea to invade Iraq and one of the worst foreign policy decision ever made by an American president. Even if it turns out well we should not have done it.

Good luck to Iraq.
