1) They attacked Iraq - using taxpayers' money.
2) The US oilgovernment siezed control of Iraq's oil, including the sale of that oil:

America has now proposed that "... Britain and the United States - known as The Authority - would decide how income from the sale of Iraqi oil would be spent."
3) They are going to spend the sale proceeds on "reconstruction" - meaning that American oil companies like Halliburton will get the money:

These are the companies that funded the Bush admininistration and its personnel into power. These are the companies that provide many of the personnel in the Bush administration:

These corrupt oilmen will make $billions from Iraq's oil, from oil-industry-related contracts - and even more by manipulating global oil markets, using their new control over the world's second largest supply in Iraq.
It is nothing but armed robbery on a gigantic scale.
WAR IS INCREASING TERROR!
"Mr Rumsfeld acknowledged that Iraq may have destroyed all its chemical munitions and weapons of mass destruction before the US-led invasion..."

The "war on terror" has made the world a more dangerous place and created divisions which make conflict more likely:

The war on terror was never about terror. It was always about oil.
When America attacked Iraq and siezed their oilfields there were no weapons capable of threatening America, Europe, or even Israel.
American attacks decimated Iraq's civillian infrastructure. They guarded the oil while unguarded schools and hospitals were looted. These "liberated" people are left largely without food and water. They are living in squalor and deprivation, thanks to the illegal, unjustified war that has "liberated" their oil for corporate America.

(Iraq War: unanswered questions, lies and disinformation)
First Afghanistan, then Iraq. Next Syria, Iran and other oilcountries could also be set attacks and the theft of their oil.

Why was the Iraq war called part of the "war on terror"? Iraq had no links to terror.
Even if they did have WMD they had no weapons that could reach outside their own borders.
It clearly should have been called the "armed robbery of oil".
No weapons. No terrorists. Only oil.
