Oil a Motive for Aussies in Iraq

Well, if we are really there to steal the oil, why don't we do it already? The price per barrel of crude has since more than doubled, over high demand and lack of security, exactly what this is supposed to be about? Let's take the freakin oil already, if that's what it's all about.

If we really have no agenda other than to secure all the world's oil, why did we focus on Iraq's 10% of it? Why didn't we go right after Iran's 11%? It would have been easier, would have prevented Iran from colluding in Afghanistan and Syria and Lebanon and the West Bank. And there's no doubt about their WMD plans. And the Arabs would be overjoyed. So why didn't we do that, if oil was the reason? Why why why why why?
