Is the war on Iraq a joint venture of Bush and US oil industry?

Before the beginning of the war, french (Total) and Russian (Lukoil) companies had almost exclusive rights to develop iraqi oilfields. US companies where definitely out of the loop. The war on iraq was the only chance for US oil companies to get back into business.

Hard to believe that it was just a coincidence that the US started the war in alliance with the U.K. and russia and france tried to avoid it.

In this context the good relation of George W. Bush to the american oil industry is particularly interesting. Now, it sounds like irony when George W. Bush wants to exclude non-coalition natinons from making business with iraq.
