  •  Khuzestan oil fields have always been the target (none / 0)

    The British provided battle plans to Iraq as the Americans provided arms in 1981 so that Saddam could seize the Khuzestan oil fields.  These fields have been the target for the last 30 years, and remain the primary target today.  

    The nuclear stuff is just sand to throw in the eyes of a gullible and easily frightened public.  Hey, WMDs worked with Saddam, didn't they?  The target was always the oil.
