Question. With the cost of the war

With the cost of the war on terror approaching one half Trillion dollars, and the obvious reason for this war is to enable American Companies to steal the oil, How did this Republican plan do?

To calculate this, I will need some help with the arithmetic

How many estimated barrels of Iraqi crude
Divided by Today's total estimated cost of this war

Please note that this taxpayer expense per barrel should be added to the $3.30 per gallon price paid at the pump here.

2. I don't think oil is the only reason

don't forget power as well, although that is tied in with the oil too.
