I blame CNN for the misunderstanding. They were all too happy to jump on soundbyte idiot BS bandwagon that they completely missed the MEANING behind his words.

Clearly, the US does have military interests in the oil supply in the middle east. Only a fool would deny this. For this reason, as McCain indicates, the US will always have an interest in maintaining stability in the Middle East and that we will defend that interest if necessary, much like we did in 1991. And as he said, the only way that will ever stop is if we develop alternative fuel sources.

It was NOT specific to the Iraq War, but to the Middle East in general.
