"So...all of the propaganda and the ensuing invasion of Iraq is about oil after all."

Eh? No Dianavan, one country gaining control of the Persian Gulf is what will really bost the price of oil and gas from that region. The US for the last 65 years has been extremely active in making sure that that does not happen. Oh, yes, you're one of the crowd that believe that the US has stolen Iraq's oil - any idea where it is?
