Well, let's just say that is what he meant. Let's say for a moment (and I don't subscribe to this argument, but I'll play the game) that the current war is a war about oil.
As with Obama's comments on some issues that have been controversial, wouldn't this be an example of speaking the truth? Let's say Iraq went nuclear and used them on Iran and Saudi Arabia. The price of oil goes to, oh, about 1000/barrel destroying the world economy.
So, yeah, I think he's pulling a CYA like Obama has been pulling CYAs. I think he said what he meant and then realized he can't say it.
