Bush gives new reason for Iraq war
Says US must prevent oil fields from falling into hands of terrorists
By Jennifer Loven, Associated Press | August 31, 2005

CORONADO, Calif. -- President Bush answered growing antiwar protests yesterday with a fresh reason for US troops to continue fighting in Iraq: protection of the country's vast oil fields, which he said would otherwise fall under the control of terrorist extremists.

The new reason for the war is the same old reason, except that we were going to get the WMD...and the oil would pay for the invasion.

How can the terrorists take control of the oil? They can't. Hell we can't even get control of the oil. How many tankers could make it out of a terrorist controlled Iraq? Every one that tried to leave would be bombed. Protection of the vast oil fields means controlling the oil plain and simple. And now it's Bush that is finally admitting the real reason for the war.
