Commercial Real Estate Not Immune to Economic Woes

We keep hearing about the belief that Iraq was "all about oil". If that is correct, where's the oil? How come we in America aren't awash in Iraqi oil? If you read the Bernstein books (an author who can hardly be considered an apologist for the administration) on the Iraq war you find the word "oil" barely mentioned. Whether rightly or wrongly, the Iraq invasion seemed to be about the assumed presence of "Weapons of Mass Destruction". Oil in Iraq belongs to the people of Iraq and still belongs to the people of Iraq. If we want that oil we must line up like everyone else and buy it on the open market. Its time to put to bed that old liberal fantasy about how the Iraq invasion was "all about oil".
