We already control the flow of oil in the Middle East, and we have multiple naval bases in the area.

By the US going into Iraq we've done just the opposite - destabilized the price oil through out the world.

Don't be confused, it's always been about oil. The reason? That's all they have that we want/need. We don't give two shits about evil dictators. If we did, we'd have troops in Darfur.
The US wants to build a pipeline through Iran so why do you think they're in the news lately.
Our troops will never be pulled out of the Middle East, just like we haven't pulled out of other countries like Japan and Germany. They might not have bases in Iraq, I'm not sure what the arrangement is with the exact logistics but there will be large US bases very close to keep an eye on things.
