Why is he worried about them investigating if it isn't happening?

Daily Kos: Bush Threatens to Veto Attempts to Regulate, Investigate Abu Ghraib Torture
Sometimes I just don't know what to think. I mean, do they really expect me to find a new level of exasperatedly angry every week? It's wearing me out.
The reason Bush doesn't want this investigated is abundantly obvious: a majority of americans now think he lied in order to take the country to war. I guess photos of them raping and torturing family members of inmates to make those inmates talk, won't go down well. If people see this, who knows, they might actually start Questioning The Legitimacy Of The War.
And then maybe some of them will ask about that shiny new oil pipeline that the Iraqis are building. You know, for all the oil the President wasn't invading for, at all. Oil that will soon be flowing out of the country at last. To Iran.
You've got to wonder. If these people were not, in fact, invading to find WMDs, or dispose of a credible threat to the US, but were, as Noam Chomsky suggested, intending to create a permanent dependent client state from which to influence Iran and Syria, and have it financed by Iraq's own oil wealth, why are they making such a complete and total HORSE'S ARSE of the job?
I mean, it's not as if they haven't been planning it for about a decade.
If any Republican voters are reading this: do you still think you got the government who promised not to offer legalese, parsing of words, and scandal? Are they talking straight enough for you? Or is it time for you all to pretend you were really just Libertarians all along?
