Would you claim that the U.S. invasion of Iraq being primarily for oil was not a conspiracy theory?

If so, then you are at odds with (at the very least) then president George W. Bush, and then prime ministers Tony Blair and John Howard.

You can't have your cake and eat it too, either the conspiracy theorists do include oil-motive conspiracy theorists, or heads of state have little influence over what is considered an acceptable, non-conspiratorial idea in public discourse.
