So grandpa told us the truth today, the war is OVER OIL
damn it, didn't we call it over four years ago... now? Or was it five?

Anyhoo, watch them take this conspiracy meme and use it to justify NOT getting out of Iraq

(And no that is not conspiracy, but damn it how many times I was told to at least loosen my tin foil hat way back then)

4. That's besides the point
he admitted to what many of us KNEW

By the way... four buck a gallon gas... if you are HIS (and junior's constituency) this is mission accomplished.

And here is the spin... they will try. We pull out, then it will be eight bucks at the pump...

At least I will give grandpa credit for serving... he did put his ass where he believed... he is SLIGHTLY better than the rest of the odious folks on the right

3. It's just a money-making gig, in reality. War is a racket.
It always has been. It always will be. There will always be a few who benefit monetarily from war, so it is in their interest to provoke wars.

12. Yes..it's about Oil and Money (shock)
Not only oil, but Money too! (quick, act surprised) Saddam Hussein threatened to start selling oil in Euro Dollars instead of U.S. Dollars. This would have cost the oil companies and the Big Banks Billions! So, what happened? Saddam Hussein was executed without a trial and it was written off as "terrorism". No muss, no fuss, no outcry and no coverage from the American Media. You may notice that recently, IRAN is threatening to sell oil in Euros instead of U.S. Dollars. (Not a smart move on Iran's part given what they did to Saddam) But, what Georgie and his Buddies are not factoring into the equation, is that China and Russia may have a little something to say if King George(the Decider)moves against Iran.Israel could get wiped off the face of the earth. It will be very ugly for hardworking, innocent American's as well. But Bush and Cheney never let THAT stand in their way before. Why worry about it now?
