Rumsfeld Unveils New Justification For Iraq War: High Gas Prices
http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/17/rumsfeld-gas-prices/

From a radio interview last week: ( http://www.defenselink.mil/Transcripts/Transcript.aspx?TranscriptID=3721)

SECRETARY RUMSFELD: The fact of the matter is - if Saddam Hussein were still in power in Iraq, he would be rolling in petrol dollars. Think of the price of oil today. He would have so much money. And he would be seeing the Iranians interested in a nuclear program, he would be seeing the North Koreans developing a nuclear program, and he’d say well why shouldn’t he - and he would. So we’re fortunate that he’s gone.

1. Has Rummy got any grandkids he wants to send off to die

for a gallon of regular unleaded?

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. But... ummmm.. Mr Rummy, gas prices wouldn't be that high

to begin with.

Evil fucking dumbass.

Dumbest, most evil, most shameless administration ever.

Know they no bounds of decency?

[Botany]

3. What is this pick a reason?

WMDs no
Link to 9/11 no
Link to al Qaeda no
Democracy no
Threat to the US no
Greater Middle East stability no

Oil & Petro Dollars We have a winner

[BOSSHOG]

4. And the lemmings will kneel and accept

"Conservatives" in this country will now trumpet the brilliant strategy of the administration, point to the gas prices and vote accordingly. When prices go up next year, they no doubt will blame clinton as they are trained to do. "Conservatives" proud of their ignorance, quiet about their cowardice.

5. .

It's brilliant and it was worth the sacrifice (if you aren't the one sacrificing anything)!
50 Cents per 1000 US-Soldiers.
50 Cents per 20000 Iraqis.

Hm...I'm glad the prices are down! They are like down to the level they were before the war!

[liberal N proud]

6. When the truth finally is told about these criminals

I hope they mention how they took the country to war before they had a reason for fighting it.

7. What a pathetic little bastard.

He should be in an insane asylum.

[marmar]

8. Tomorrow's justification:

To protect Iraq from same-sex marriage....

Rumsfeld is like one of those senile, sad, confused, really old dogs that needs to be put out of its misery.

9. You just can't make this shit up

and four years later to boot!
