Not really (4.00 / 2)
The Iraq War is at 100,000 b/d, and the Pentagon overall consumes something like 300,000 b/d.

So the War is 0.5% of US consumption (or 0.1% of world consumption), and the Pentagon is 1.5% of US consmptions (and 0.4% of world consumption).

Not small, but not that significant, relatively speaking.

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
