Skip to the 4:40 mark of this CNBC clip. Pickens says "We should get a call on Iraqi oil for the 4,000 people we lost and the $2 trillion we've lost."  "We haven't got much out of Iraq that I can see that's helped America."

My first thought is that we dug our own grave in Iraq.  We acted unilaterally and without cause and now Pickens thinks we should be compensated for our trouble. 

This is the height of American arrogance and imperialism.  We're gonna come in and screw up your country and its infrastructure, and we'll be taking ownership of your most strategic assets as a thank you.  Buh-bye. 

Is Pickens right, do we deserve Iraqi oil as a thank you for our commitment to democracy?
