It was oil after all

With all of the
shock over the win of the Democrats in the election,
little reported was the statements made by the
President the weekend before the election. After
years of denying that our war in Iraq was over oil
and calling anyone unpatriotic for implying so, the
President turned the tables and used the idea as part
of his repeated stump speeches saying, " You can
imagine a world in which these extremists and
radicals got control of energy resources and then you
can imagine them saying 'we're going to pull a bunch
of oil off the market to run your price of oil up
unless you do the following...'" In other words,
fighting in Iraq for oil has now moved from being an
unpatriotic idea to becoming a platform plank. Of
course the Iraqies knew it all along. 95% of Iraqies
polled still believe the entire invasion was about
oil to begin with.
