text: if the iraq war is not about oil why does bush now say? that  u.s. pullout would let iraq radicals use oil as a weapon http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/04/ar2006110401025.html he has run out of "straw dogs" to fool us with on this one, so he has been forced by the election to get closer to the truth.  this has always been about oil, plunder, greed, and power, and now bush is using the threat of terrorists getting the oil instead of him and who he represents, as if that would make a significant difference to us at  the pump.  we will always pay more, no matter who has the oil.  what a cynical ploy for a very  cynical puppet figure.
