Bush Says U.S. Pullout Would Let Iraq Radicals Use Oil as a Weapon
This is an interesting article because Bush now is arguing that staying in Iraq is about oil. After 4 years of saying that the Iraq war has nothing to do with oil, it seems a strange change of reasoning. Bush also argues that the loss of Iraqi oil would result in oil prices as high as $400 a barrel, never mind that Iraqi production has never been that significant of total world production. Sounds like Bush is trying to use the fear of voters to pay more at the pump to win votes for Republicans. I just don't see how this is good for Republicans.
