No. It's entirely possible Blair & Bush were given a loaded gun pointed at Iraq for self-serving reasons by bad people.

Dollar hegemony IS international stability. It's not about profit. It's about sustaining US hegemony.

True. But causation and correlation are not the same. These docs make no mention of UK/US seeking to monetize post-war Iraq.

There's no "here's how much money we'll make in Year 1 post-war". There's no "Exxon can have Kandahar, if you guys take Kabul"

Good. Tell that to someone who is claiming that's what this was about. I am pointedly NOT saying that.
