Am i over-estimating his control?

I think you are over-estimating his control. I don't, however, believe for a second that oil wasn't a LARGE factor in the decision to go to war. The fact that gas is still near $3/gallon is only a testament to the administration's lack of competence and oil companies' greed.

I think it is the other way around, I think Big Oil controls George Bush and many in his administration. Mission Accomplished for their benefit, and no one else's.

That is it in a nut shell, OIL is his God. His family are oil barons, he granted big oil major tax cuts when they had record breaking profits, convinced them to lower prices for the election, now they are climbing again! The day after the election gas jumped here 20 cents per gallon! Its why he invaded, Saddems on y threat was economic, and that to Bush is a wmd of great magnitude

The only mission that's been accomplished is Bush's continued denials of what's really going on in Iraq so yes for him it is "mission accomplished"..............

Iraq controls the oil. Read the news. We didn't go into Iraq for oil, if we did-the gas prices probably wouldn't have went up. So-no coincidence. We are trying to get Iraq's govt to take control.

there are more happy coincidences lined up apart from the control of oil.
re-construction is one, monopolising sale of arms to iraq is another (this is to both state and non-state actors), cleansing the land of anti-jew/ anti-west forces, liberating the women...............

1) Bush doesn't control the oil.
2) It was never our intention to control Iraq, it was our intention to let the Iraqis control Iraq.

Yes, thank you GWB for invading for the sole purpose of oil, so now gas is 0.30 a gallon.
Hell no he didn't invade Iraq for oil, and he hasn't gotten a drop from it
