It is 100% true (an absolute for Spence's benefit) that Zimmy is 100% correct (an absolute postulated by a liberal who apparently has room for absolutes in his real world) that Zimmy "thinks" it is "more likely" (a typical progressive relative derived from a possibility or maybe) that "they" pushed for a war in Iraq to benefit their oil buddies.

Not sure how that works, but if so, who is pushing what now, to benefit their oil buddies? Oil prices are up, Obama is President . . . hmmm.

Do you guys remember the 'top secret' classified energy summit that happened at the whitehouse before or just as we invaded Iraq??

That summit's purpose was to plan who was going to get to control the oil fields.

When the plan to invade Iraq was voted on in the Senate, it was approved by the following senators: Schumer, Feinstein, Boxer, Kerry, edwards, Biden, Clinton...

Those are some very influential Democrats. They were all in the pocket of Big Oil?

President Bill Clinton said many times he was positive that Saddam Hussein had WMDs. What was Clinton's motive for saying that?

Eben, if all Bush cared about was Big Oil, why did he do such amazing work fighting AIDS in Africa? What profit margin was he after there?

Considering the oil resources at play, I'd think it irresponsible to NOT have plans in place if you intended to destabilize the country.

That being said, it appears to be one of the few post-war items they paid any attention to at all.

It doesnt take half a brain to read between the lines with what happened back then. The sheep fell for the WMD bait and and switch. What I didn't see coming was that China was awarded first dibs with Iraq's oil... Just one more reason why they own us.
