05/03/2008: "John McCain admits Iraq War was over oil"
"My friends, I will have an energy policy which will eliminate our dependence on oil from Middle East that will then prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East."
Think about how amazing this is. McCain is essentially saying that our quest to "spread democracy" throughout the Middle East is a sham. It has nothing to do with freeing oppressed people, or protecting Israel, or defending ourselves against future attacks. It's about gaining control of foreign oil. Stunning. Will this get any significant media play?
[ A major British politician let slip that we went into Iraq to protect Israel - so really it doesn't look like these guys can quite get their story straight. ]
