Just what we need

Considering that you are ignorant of my party affiliation (if any), your characterization rings somewhat false.

Be that as it may, you are correct in stating that the Iraq invasion caused a decrease in production that affected crude prices. Upon examining the chart you supplied, you'll find that the supply picture has changed since 2003.

"Every" economist says Bush caused high gas prices?

According to the January 2007, Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) report, Iraq’s petroleum sector faces technical challenges in procuring, transporting and storing crude and refined products, as well as managing pricing controls and imports, fighting smuggling and corruption, improving budget execution, and managing sustainability of operations. Oil production has not recovered to pre-war levels, and parliament and cabinet officials are working to map out investment and ownership rights that will help move the industry forward.
 
The cost of crude has gone up sharply in the past few years, adding about $1/gallon to the base cost of gasoline

Right out of your link.
You see when there is less crude there is less gas.
Where in this does he say the Iraq war had no effect on the price of gas?
