Investigative reporter Greg Palast was involved in a joint BBC Newsnight and Harper's Magazine story which posits that there were two separate plans to sequester Iraq's oil well before the invasion of Iraq.

If this is true, of course, it means the protestors that were shouting "No blood for oil" hit the nail on the head.
