Breaking on CNN: McCain "we won't go to war in Middle east for oil again"

[jazzjunkysue]

Wolf discussing it live right now 6:34 ET.

He's saying he'll have an oil policy that will make sure we don't have to go to war in the middle east ever "again."

Meaning we went in for the oil.

Holy shit! Gramps told the truth!

[rainy]

1. Man they better play this one over and over again. They better ask him about

it every time they see him. Then they better start the criminal hearings.

[bluestateguy]

2. Let's see if this has legs

I won't hold my breath. That would require the media whores to stop sucking his dick.

[LakeSamish706]

3. There playing it right now (West Coast) on Tweety... n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. Son of a bitch!

:woohoo:

:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

5. But we'll still stay in Iraq for 100 years?

Going in for oil is stating the obvious. All those who don't like Bush know this; the 21% who still think Bush is the Second Coming think going to war for oil was just fine.

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. Good point - if we just stay there forever, then we never have to go to war "again" for oil.

It'll just be the natural state of things.

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. Yea we're already there. And McCain means to keep us there.

[biscotti]

7. Tweety just picked up on it

like what a statement for the wold to hear. We went to war to put something cheap in our gas tank.

[Clear Blue Sky]

8. And boy did that policy work well...

Our "cheap gas" is costing $4+/gal...

[The Doctor.]

10. Who was the pinhead trying to claim he didn't say what he said?

[biscotti]

12. Tweety said he was

an ex McCain adviser.

[The Doctor.]

9. Like I've said... once the Dem nominee is picked, McCain will sink like a stone.

He's going senile, he's still full of fuck-ups, he'll be crushed in November.

This is what we should be talking about all the way to November.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

11. After you fought so hard against THIS war...

Who could not believe you John?

Crickets. Gonna be a warm spring.

[spanone]

13. did we go in for the oil or to inflate the oil prices? either way big oil wins

[liberal N proud]

18. Both

[DAGDA56]

14. Did we go to war to take the oil? Or to keep it in the ground?

[rainy]

16. we went in so international oil companies could control the profits.

Plus, I believe we were trying to keep Saddam from trading in the Euro which he had said he was going to start doing. Same with Iran, axis of evil don't ya know.

[and-justice-for-all]

15. So, A) Oil was the reason for invading Iraq and

B) Of course we dont have to invade the Middle East for oil AGAIN because we are already there and C) they can always pick another country to annihilate and rob of their resources.

Fuck you McSame

[kenny blankenship]

17. "We won't have to," he thinks, "if I make sure we win this'un" Look out tho-

he's trying to confuse differences between himself and us.

A statement like that is actually to the left of anything our candidate will be ALLOWED to say. Just imagine the fury that would be unleashed if Obama said that!
Dangerous angry Black Radical!
Mau Mau! He hates America!
See, I told you - Seekrit Muslim! Seekrit Muslim!

[varelse]

19. "again"

:rofl:

For some reason, I'm reminded of the Jim Carrey movie...

[w8liftinglady]

20. I suggest we DU bomb the MSNBC blog that posts this..I did.

the more people that are aware,the longer we keep this current...the more airplay it wiull get.

21. A stopped clock is right twice a day.

If he just admitted this war was about oil (which it is), he is right. Good for him. I'm conflicted because I want him to be criticized but not for (once in a blue moon) being right.

[robertpaulsen]

22. Considering Iran's oil exports will drop to zero by 2015...

Perhaps McSame is admitting he will "bomb, bomb, bomb" Iran just for the sheer shock and awe spectacle of it!

23. He lifted that word for word from Kerry's speeches in 2003-4. He chose to side with Bush.

.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

24. He reminded me of Borat

People were applauding him about having a new energy policy until he linked the war to oil. That went over like a lead balloon, kind of like Borat at the rodeo rousing the crowd by telling them that he supported their "war of terror" and that Bush should drink the blood of every Arab until he went too far and the crowd went silent.

[malaise]

25. Copy that video DUers

before they take it off UTube.

[w8liftinglady]

27. I was thinking the same thing

[havocmom]

26. Of coruse; too busy in Iraq for the next 100 years

McCain keeps flubbing his lines and cheney will make sure he has a stroke or something.

[brettdale]

28. He used the word AGAIN

They really dont care anymore do they?

[JDPriestly]

29. Wow! I hope there is a follow-up question:

Do you believe that we went into Iraq for oil?

[Fly by night]

30. I loved Kucinich's line: "How did OUR oil get under Iraq's sand?"

Said by Dennis in a tongue-in-cheek fashion for all you literalists lurking the DUberland these days.

[Fly by night]

31. Kay & Arr

[w8liftinglady]

32. so..has this story already faded into the sunset?

[spanone]

33. rightwingers mis=speak while democrats lie....media spin

[Initech]

35. And the truth shall set you free!!!!!

[w8liftinglady]
