Whoops! And how many dead and wounded US troops thought they were fighting for democracy and freedom? How many dead, wounded and displaced Iraqis have had to suffer so that the US could control their oil?

Can Mr. 100 Years put a price tag on that?

McBush Wants YOU to fight for Exxon.

Dumb-ass republicans have been used and abused and still will cling to "they hate us for our freedom".

That's the first intelligent statement that I've heard out of McCain in quite some time!

War hero? Did he save a platoon or something?

Barrett D @ 9:

as far as i can tell mccain did not say the war in iraq was started because of oil. he is very correct though that american troops are staying in iraq because of oil. this is actually a valid concern, because america has now made many enemies in iraq and to leave iraq and risk handing control of oil to them will give them a source of wealth to fund attacks against america. but you reap what you sew, eh?

That's some heavy nuance there.

The fact is, and most of the public knows it, we started this war for oil. End of discussion. Republicans don't do nuance, remember?

There is a clip of bush someowhere saying that "we must end our dependence on middle eastern oil, because the people in that region don;t like us being there" (paraphrasing)

Leslie [Hussein] @ 12:

Oh please. Iraqis can barely feed themselves since we leveled the place.

I think they were having to import food even before we made things worse by leveling the place (Anyone remember the "Oil for Food" program that Saddam was accused of stealing billions of dollars from over a period of a decade? A trillion dollars for a war makes that look like petty graft).

It's a good thing McCain's not black, because then he'd have people falling over themselves talking about how the government would never do such a thing.

Kind of like when we left Vietnam and the nation of Vietnam continued attacking America for decades.

I know..I know... this time is different. The Vietnamese were Asian and the Iraqis are, oh my god, scary Arabs.

I'm betting McCain claims tomarrow that he was talking about the Gulf War.

He already did. On the plane after the McFuckup. Dana Gash (Blinky) on CNN said it about an hour ago. McCain said he was talking about the "Gulf War". You hit the nail on the head but McCan't was quicker than you thought. One of his handlers obviously gave him the tip.

Does this mean Pelosi will finally put impeachment on the table?

Yeah Ruthless People, IMPEACH NOW!

Peak oil is a farse, while Sadam was in Power ( a puppet for USS) the main goal was to keep Iraq and Iran's Oil off the market to keep prices high. Opec is a monopoly the British set up after ww2, all monies going to Saudi Arabia is actually the kingpin of the world, You know the ones who own the banks Rothhchild and the queen of england, Barbara Bush is somehow related to the crown of england in whatever the case the top enchelon is not hard to figure out. McCains remarks to 100 year war has to do with limiting Venzula oil and eventually Russia, who actually has the most oil in the world, but being that they are Communist the people of that country would never know, so it is mostly setting dorcid for same reason Iraq's Oil is not suppose to flow.

I think taking five years of torture without telling the captors everything he knew about everything would be enough to merit some respect for his war service. Personally, if somebody were bending my fingers back I'd tell 'em whatever they wanted - but I'm a wimp, so that's not really saying much.

I think there's enough evidence that McCain has either been bribed, brain-washed or blackmailed (possibly water-boarded) into submission by the extreme radicals of the neo-con movement and while he may have once been a "war-hero" he is now a ridiculous and dangerous "war-monger" who has abandoned any shred of credibility.

Can't wait to see the media gulp down a big ol' bucket of turd-blossom spin on this admission though. Should be interesting to watch them squirm away from this.

This idiot has gone along with the murderous gang occupying the white house and would pull the gold from his grammie's teeth if it meant wealth in his pocket. Where the fuck was he before the invasion of Iraq? If he knew it was for oil why didn't he speak out. Because he is a coward. He has always been an opportunist and a coward. He is a shell of a human being, a living corpse kept alive by greed and narcicism. Because of people like McCain the toll of human suffering has risen a thousand fold. An Iraqi parent holding the maimed and shattered body of their child has McCain and others who could have spoken out, but didn't, to blame. And the thousands of parents and loved ones of our troops have McCain to thank for their loss. If he thinks he will be president of our United States he is mistaken.

Since he said, "... will then prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East” (emphasis added), that does confuse things, as we keep "sending" them every day. However, the interpretation of this that "send" implied "in the first place" is perfectly logical (not to say you said it wasn't), and it would be a stretch to say such an interpretation would be a matter of "taking it out of context" (although I don't have the context, which would really have to be crafty to set this up as such).

In any case, this does deserve a "McWow: that's fudged up."

At the same time, I'm gonna hafta go ahead and respectfully take issue with saying "Tweety gets this exactly right:" SilentPatriot. If someone else said this, they'd be called a leftist is exactly right? Although that may be the case, I dunno, it sounds like a backhanded remark to me, especially considering Tweety contrasts it with, "... for John McCain, the war hero, to be saying... ? (emphasis added)" WTF? Those are supposed to be diametrically opposed or something? If that's what he's insinuating, he can go fudge himself... again.

I have to say that Tweety gave it a good shot just now. He really pinned this on McShame. Of course he brought out the Re. Wright card right afterward. Putz.

We really need to cool it on the use of the hero word. Most everyone has become a hero. A soldier goes to Iraq where he serves as a cook in the Green Zone, and he's hailed as a hero when he comes home. A four-star general (Colin Powell) serves in the Pentagon during the first Gulf War, and he's hailed as a gulf war hero? Did he throw himself on an exploding computer in the Pentagon thereby saving the lives of his fellow generals? No, don't think so. John McCain a war hero? Hmmmm, kinda a tough one. Maybe, maybe not. A little bit of a hero if he was in solitary confinement in a tiny dirty cell for 6 years. A whole lot of a hero if he had been tortured unto death without giving any information. Not that 99.9% of us could keep silent, but if one did one would be correctly termed a hero. Charge into a burning building to save children, people, puppies or kittens, you're a hero. In a hail of fire killing your fellow soldiers you pick up a machine gun and charge head on into the fire of two overlapping machine gun nests, and by the grace of God or luck, you kill both machine gun crews -- YOU'RE A HERO!

Whoops! And how many dead and wounded US troops thought they were fighting for democracy and freedom? How many dead, wounded and displaced Iraqis have had to suffer so that the US could control their oil?

Can Mr. 100 Years put a price tag on that?

pricetag?

you pick...

$1 trillion
4040+ confirmed US deaths (counting Iraq in-country deaths only)
10's of thousands of wounded military
100's of thousands of mentally tormented military
over 6,000 US troop suicides per year (do the math on a 100 year occupation)
up to 1 million Iraqi civilians killed
up to 3-4 million Iraqi's displaced as external or internal refugees
countless millions poisoned from depleted uranium exposure.

need anymore?

Yeah, but I want McCain to say it! The a**hole.

THIS will work out good for mcwhsitle. the media will credit him with having the "courage" to tell us how it is. and he'll get a pass on being a cheerleader for this quagmire. has anyone noticed he sounds like the gopher in that winnie the pooh cartoon?

... oil, and in order to bring Jesus back... Don't forget that part.

Like I said, John McCain has PDS and seem to be showing sgin of early stages of Alzheimer

Lets not be niave we all know that the US has oil interests in Iraq. However so does the rest of the world. It is not our fault that area has the majority of the oil that is required for the rest of the to fuction properly. Those countries have an obligation to the entire world to be fair with the resources we all need. Just like the US has the obligation to export Humanitarian aid, give loans despite our debt, and afford everyone in the world the oppurtunity to take advantage of the freedoms we promote in our country. Saddam Hussein was a bad guy and deserved to die. We had every right to go in there because they violated the agreement that we made wtih them after the first gulf war which was to let inspectors in to look for WMDs. They didn't do that so we kicked their ass which we had the legal right to do under U.N. law. As far as the WMD's are concerned I was there and we found evidence of production, but since we allowed them 15 yrs to hide and transport them out of the country moslt likely Syria and Jordan ended up with them. What McCain stated was that we would no longer have to go to the middle east as long as us along with all the other Western countries would have an ally beside Israel in the Mid East. Remember we are not the only ones with hopes of an Iraq democracy. The people of Iraq along with all of Europe wnat it too; so easy up on your motherland she's doing the best she can.

This will get no press coverage.The media gives him a pass any chance they get.I'm so tired of this drill
Peace, jason

All the Dead and blind from the day of the idea of a war new that "OIL" was the major reason. Do you really think the American people are surprised, or do you peole think we are studpid. Oh such such hypocrits.

When Ms Clinton won Pa by two double digits did you think anyone who had any brains believed it?

Do you think that anyone in their right mind believes that the race for IN and Caroline is very close. Someone is at work doing some dirty underhanded stuff.

The problem most people have is that they view these psychopaths with their own concept of right/wrong.

And McCain + warhero is also used because he has an (R) after his name.

I'm glad this is being discussed in prime time today on the press, MSNBC. I hope it kills his chance for election. Americans don't want blood for oil. This needs to be replayed on YouTube until November.

Sorry for the long post but there are plenty of other quotes in which they are perfectly honest that the oil is very important. Bush has also said that it would fall into the hands of AQ or some other terrorist organization.

"The good Lord didn't see fit to put oil and gas only where there are democratically elected regimes friendly to the United States. Occasionally we have to operate in places where, all things considered, one would not normally choose to go. But, we go where the business is." Dick Cheney
Collateral Damage Conference, Cato Institute June 23, 1998
http://www.cato.org/speeches/sp-dc062398.html

The U.S. has an enormous stake in the Persion Gulf because of oil Mar. 1994 Paul Wolfowitz
"The United States and the entire industrialized world have an enormous stake in the security of the Persian Gulf, not primarily in order to save a few dollars per gallon of gasoline but rather because a hostile regime in control of those resources could wreak untold damage on the world's economy, and could apply that wealth to purposes that would endanger peace globally." Wolfowitz concludes, "Given this permanent stake in the security of the Persian Gulf, the Gulf War provided an opportunity to base security on a foundation of credible commitment by the United States and its coalition partners."

Reagan on Defending American Oil Interests in the Gulf
Nov. 26, 1983
Reagan"...we should assign the highest priority to access arrangements which would facilitate the rapid deployment of those forces necessary to defend the critical oil facilities..."

Dick Cheney, USA Vice-President speaking in 1990:
"Whoever controls the flow of Persian Gulf oil has a stranglehold not only on our economy but also on the other countries of the world as well."

"OIL IS MUCH TOO IMPORTANT A COMMODITY TO BE LEFT IN THE HANDS OF THE ARABS."
Henry Kissinger

[Iraqis] know we own their country...It's a good thing, especially when there's a lot of oil out there we need.
~U.S. Brig. General William Looney

[Iraqis] know we own their country. We own their airspace... We dictate the way they live and talk. And that's what's great about America right now.
~U.S. Brig. General William Looney

"Along with Latin America, West Africa is expected to be one of the fastest-growing sources of oil and gas for the American market." ---->OFFICE OF VP DICK CHENEY,
MAY 16th, 2001

"By 2010 we will need [a further] 50 million barrels a day. The Middle East, with two-thirds of the oil and the lowest cost, is still where the prize lies." - US Vice President Dick Cheney, then Halliburton chief executive officer, London, autumn 1999

And of course the neocons sent Clinton that letter in which they say a large amount of oil could fall into the hands of the enemies. I have constantly said that if there was no oil then a lot of interest in the middle-east would quickly vanish.

I'd rephrase my above "anyone" with "anyone who isn't 'the bad guys.'"

Jackpot!

How hard will it be to defeat that wishy washy man?
Then again they will turn this around and make it look like McCain has principles for "revealing" the actual purpose of the war.

As the old saying goes, a "gaffe" is when a politician accidentally tells the truth.

Oops, forgot one: BushCo.

Um so like why did Tweety's crew flip to footage of Rev. Wright while discussing Obama's lack of luck with white voters of a particular vintage and social standing. What exactly do the two have to do with each other? You don't think Tweety would be trying to get all subliminal would you? If so how come they never slip in pictures of the loon Hagee when discussing John McBush?
Also why is it that they are saying Obama should be concerned about the race tightening in NC when it's doing exactly the same thing to him that it did to Hillary in PA and yet that was a drubbing in her favour? Will they say that he put the boots to her if he wins by 10..I mean 9.5 points..instead of 18 like they did in PA? There isn't a double standard is there?
One last thing, The Mcshameites and Clintards obviously think American voters are morons. Don't buy the gas tax roll back, it's a scam on the order of Richard Nixon not being a crook. The oil companies will leave prices where they are and rake in more profits. Why wouldn't they?
I'm Canadian and I used to be proud to be America's neighbor, if you insist on calling your President "the leader of the free world" than would somebody please vote for Obama on my behalf. I'm proud of my country I'd like to be proud of your too.

NoBuddy @ 134:

Greenspan said essentially the same thing - Iraq war was about oil. So, the real question for me is, why do these people think that they're qualified on national security when the price for the Iraq war was in part, letting the terrorists in Afghanistan off the hook. We left Musharraf pissing in the wind for years, when we should have closed the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, preventing al Qaeda and the Taliban from crossing back and forth and working with Musharraf to finish them off while Musharrif was in charge. Now, I think I heard that Pakistan has cut a deal with the terrorists.

So, now we have neither. We blew up Iraq, and now oil isn't pumping at pre-war levels and al Qaeda lives to see another day. Architects and supporters of these policies aren't qualified to lead on national security. And while I have heard that McCain has military experience, I haven't heard of any command experience that would lead one to believe he is astute in military strategy. Any anyone who wants to lead on the Iraq war had best know the difference between a Shiite and Sunni.

Damned straight!

No. McCain did not say that. It was Rev. Wright. And he was not wearing his flag lapel. And its the "Democrat Party's" (why can't they pronounce it correctly?) fault that we don't have enough oil.
