I didn't say the war benefited us; I said the war benefited oil companies. Big difference. And the oil companies still would have wanted to get their greedy little hands on Iraqi oil whether Ireal was part of the picture or not. Not to mention defense contractors would still have wanted us to buy more of their stuff to use in the Iraq invasion and private security firms would have wanted us to buy their services in Iraq, too. None of those factors have anything to do with Isreal, but I think they played a bigger role in the decision to invade Iraq than an Isreal lobby. I think the lobbying system is fucked up in general and the Isreal lobby isn't any better or worse than some of the rest of the lobbys out there.
the israel lobby plays the BIGGEST ROLE in influencing congress
