I've often wondered how Bush would be viewed by Americans if the following hypothetical situation came to pass.

That of if Bush did have gone the full imperial on Iraq, appropriating the bulk of their oil reserves for the American people as recompense for waging the war, and that those reserves would not be handed back to Iraq for 10 years until such time as their government could show a capacity to manage said reserves within a functioning democracy, and that, in the meantime, oil prices spiked to 200 dollars a barrell, leading to gas pump prices of, for example, 8 dollars a barrell, but because of the Iraq war, the American people, using Iraqi oil could continue paying for gas at 2 dollars a gallon, while the rest of the world paid 8 dollars a gallon, (this is getting longwinded, bring back talking) would those who denounced Bush's Iraq war back up their actions with words and demand that the gas price they pay at the pump stop being 2 dollars and go to 8 dollars to match the rest of the world?
(I know this would never happen, treat it as an outlandish hypothetical)
