"Let's look at it simply. The most important difference between North Korea and Iraq is that economically, we just had no choice in Iraq. The country swims on a sea of oil."
US deputy defence secretary, Paul Wolfowitz, in Singapore, 31 May-1 June, 2003
"...for reasons that have a lot to do with the US government bureaucracy, we settled on the one issue that everyone could agree on: weapons of mass destruction."
Paul Wolfowitz, Vanity Fair magazine, May 2003
"For me, one of the clearest proofs that the world is facing an oil crisis was the USA/UK attack on Iraq in 2003. While much time and hot air was spent on finding alternative reasons for the invasion, the only purpose which seems to have stood up to post-war scrutiny is that of securing future oil supplies. The other proposed reasons - 'humanitarianism', links with Al-Qaeda, threats to other countries, the notorious weapons of mass destruction - have all been refuted or, at least, shown to be seriously flawed."
