I might be stupid but you're definitely simple-minded because this whole business is far more complicated than that. The USA might not get their Oil from Iraq but controlling such a big resource is extremely important. The world is consuming its oil reserves at an incredible speed and it's not going to last for much longer. Predictions say that at best it won't last longer than 50 years and America's oil reserves are really running low. The size and location of Iraq's oil reserves make them extremely important economically speaking and whoever controls them will have a lot of economical power. The whole world runs on oil, controling it means controling the world. It's all a matter of power and influence based on who controls the world's oil reserves.
And if Bush is so interested in finding other resources it's because he is fully aware that someday soon oil will run out and he must start preparing for that. But while it lasts, and particularly now that it's not abundant like before, controling it is of vital economical and political importance. And I'm sure America doesn't want to lose or jeopardize the strong political and economical position it has in the world.
