You are putting words in my mouth, I do believe the oil supply needs to be guarded but oil company profits should not be hitting an all time high at a time we are fighting for oil.

For now they can throw some change in the cookie jar and get back to profits when the war is won. Maybe the war would end faster if they hired more private firms to protect their interest to decrease the burden on the military instead they are charging the government to guard their own tankers and pipelines.

The fact remains:
more war = high profits, you can connect the dots from there.
