And I ask you, if the U.S. now has Iraqs oil under it's own control, why isn't gasoline cheaper? Believe me, Bush would love to lower the price of gas, it would only make his rating go up and deflect attention away from his administration.

Oh, is the war all over now?

No, the war isn't over, the main conflict is, the guerrilla type of warfare and Iraqi infighting we see now will continue for a very long time. But what does that have to do with your supposed U.S. control of Iraq's oil fields? Oil flows out of Iraq daily.
The instability of the region - the whole Middle East, in fact - is one of the dictating factors of the price per barrel. It should be overtly apparent that Bush's intentions for the Middle East are to exert greater control, so the supply - and projected supply - of oil to his financial backers is not disrupted.
Perhaps we should be dancing in a different thread though?

The implication of your post suggests it. See my other posts on the subject in regard to the second part of your post.

If you think the War was about Oil then come to this country and look at a Gas Station
Again, how does that imply the war being over? "War was about" What it was started for 😱 . And of course, since you obviously don't live in the States, you don't see the Gas Prices. Especially since I was talking in the now

I think you've just defeated yourself with this post.

The U.S. will not capture their number 1 excuse for invading countries.

WTF? Where did I say it was over, and I hope you realise that what I was saying was Gas Prices Skyrocketed
There are more reasons for a rise in gas prices than just instability in the Middle East. It seems that oil companies have only just realised there is a limited supply of the source of their wealth, so they're pumping up the prices.
Why would Bush care about his approval ratings now? He's not trying to run again, so he can concentrate on making his retirement a happy one.
