    Although I'm not sure what an "invation" is, if the US wanted petrol from Iraq we could have acceded to the French pressure in the Security Council several years ago to lift the restrictions on Iraq's sale of oil on the international market. But you're probably right, the only easy way to get it was to invade the whole country.
