Bush admits US in Iraq for oil
Bush: critics back 'cut and run' strategy

By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer
22 minutes ago

LANCASTER, Pa. - President Bush said critics of his Iraq policies are advocating a "cut and run" strategy that would draw terrorists to American soil.

"Leaving before we complete our mission would create a terrorist state in the heart of the Middle East, a country with huge oil reserves that the terrorist network would be willing to use to extract economic pain from those of us who believe in freedom," Bush said Wednesday.

"If we leave before the mission is complete, if we withdraw, the enemy will follow us home," he said

4. Oh, come on ,George
If we can't get oil out of that country, what makes you think that the terra-ists will be able to do it? Are they so much more technically savvy than we are?

9. Tony Snow said the same yesterday. Did they do polling and decide
the American people will put up with anything if it means we get the oil? That would be my guess. At least polling that showed his base and most Repukes will do anything to get their hands on the oil.
