Oil? What Oil?

Jack Straw, the British Foreign Secretary, speaking at the Labour Party conference (as mentioned in posts below), said "We are in Iraq for one reason only - to help the elected Iraqi government build a secure, democratic and stable nation." So that confirms it! Not interested in the oil at all. The only reason is securing democracy in a stable nation!

So if we hear of any British official sniffing around the oil fields for information, what should we make of it? That this sole democratic reason needs to be monitored constantly as wandering from the path of building democracy would be against Mr. Straw's emphatic statement!
