I would say Oil was a factor...a major one. But it was much more than about Iraq's oil. It was about having a staging area in the middle east. It was about sitting on Iran's doorstep. It was about so many other things, but I would say that Oil was near its center.

Strategically speaking oil companies would probably want to center around constricting supply in order to increase demand and raise prices. But that's my understanding, of course I'm not in the best standing to make such an argument. In so far as I've viewed it Iraq was a political move and a move he failed pretty badly at, and this is coming from a former Bush supporter
I agree it was some factor, the world runs on oil, I just don't think it was to the same level many believe. Bush used 911 as one of his pretexts to go into Iraq, but in so far as I can see it was only a catalyst. Considering much of his basis for going in was for WMD's 9/11 wouldn't have been required as an excuse.
