The conspiracy theorists were out in full force with this war.

Who said we were going "over there to get the oil?" That was the conspiracy nuts as CC1 points out.
Wrong again guys.
According to the way the media counts the length of this war, it has lasted "7 years and 5 months" - almost to the day. "That's longer than WW2!" they bewail.
But by using the same standard - the presence of American troops in the country we were at war with, WW2 never ended!
American troops are still stationed in Japan and Germany - even at this very moment. WW2 has never ended - by this standard.
Welcome to the 25,093rd day of World War Two.
