War for oil? Yes, and another target in the Iraq war was of course the American taxpayer's wallet. Biggest spike in war spending in half a century.
Washington Times has some numbers:
Defense spending spurs US economy - The Washington Times: United Press International: "Spending by the federal government jumped 25.1 percent, the largest amount since 1967. That jump was attributed to a 44.1 percent spike in defense spending, the largest since the Korean War, due to the war in Iraq. "
