It would be, IMHO, foolish to think that the US isn't going to Iraq for the oil.

Someone who disagrees with your PRESUMPTIONS and ASSUMPTIONS is FOOLISH?
What is the complete chain of thought again? Bush and some of his cabinet members were in the oil industry. Iraq has oil. Therefore, the "war is about oil"? That's a weak chain of logic at best. One cannot even make any logical connections from any assumptions to the conclusion. It is no stronger a case than that.
Remember Bush's infamous "Axis of Evil" statement. Maybe Bush deemed Iraq, Iran, and North Korea an "axis of evil" because he knew Saddam would continue to defy the UN inspectors after which he would be able to "take Iraq's oil" and then use it to fuel further attacks on North Korea and later Iran. That's it, huh? Funny.
