While I agree with you that our sole or primary reason for going into Iraq was not about securing oil, to say that its position and natural resources did have a direct or indirect factor is ridiculous as well.

Great. Prove it. The notion is simplistic and fraught with overtones that feed conspiracy theory. There is no evidence to suppor that this was an objective. If it were true we could just go ahead and nuke Iran now and be done with it.
