   It doesn't matter. It was definately the primary motivation to go in.   
      
   Oil is money and money is power. Saddam with power scared them, and they   
   wanted his power for themselves as well.   
      
   WMD was just a propoganda "justification" to scare people into going   
   along with it instead of protesting war like Viet Nam.   
      
   Oil and power are why we won't see Osama captured either. His parents   
   are friends with to many oil people and do most of the construction in   
   the oil industry in the Middle East. If we kill thier son, it certainly   
   won't keep us in their good graces.
