War for Oil?

I guess I'm on a sad irony kick so I couldn't help but link to this NY Times article on how Dubya is urging the country to conserve oil by driving less. I never really bought into the whole argument that the Iraq War was started just for oil. I'd like to think that it just serves as a reference point for all the real reasons the war was started.

If oil really was a factor in it at all, it's kind of ironic that we are in the bind we find ourselves in what with the recent hurricanes taking out oil intake ports in LA and now oil refineries in TX.

Maybe that Intelligent Designer simply missed with Katrina and had to take a second shot with Rita. Oh the hilarity.
