Remember when the lefties asserted that the invasion of Iraq was all about oil? Seems they were wrong (of course).

Majnoon oilfield goes to Anglo-Dutch and Malaysian consortium in second auction of oil assets since 2003 invasion

I find rather amusing that France and other EU countries are right in there bidding as well despite their serious criticism of the US invasion. Principles only matter in rhetoric I guess.
