Bush admits we "need" Iraq for the oil

[demzilla]

From the idiot's speech today in San Diego, as reported by the AP:

"If Zarqawi and bin Laden gain control of Iraq, they would create a new training ground for future terrorist attacks," Bush said. "They'd seize oil fields to fund their ambitions. They could recruit more terrorists by claiming a historic victory over the United States and our coalition."

How many things are wrong with that paragraph? Did Zarqawi and bin Laden have control of Iraq before the war? NO. Is Iraq, thanks to Bush's war, a training ground for future terrorist attacks? YES. And then, there it is: They'd seize oil fields. The implication being, those fields will either be theirs or ours. So there's the new GOP talking point: If you like gas for your car, you need to support the war. Just imagine how bad things could get if we lose those oil fields.

A desperation ploy.

1. Sounds like dejas vous all over again...remember Vietnam

2. W's raw imperialism on display

And the tired old lie of the domino theory they used in Vietnam.

[wli]

10. well, the domino theory of Vietnam was right, but in reverse

Once we enraged Vietnam sufficiently, every surrounding country became Communist, too.

3. A little truth after so many lies? Oil is important to national defense.

Defend America. Nationalize the oil companies.

4. "They'd seize oil fields to fund their ambitions."

Damned terrorists, what a nerve. Didn't they know, Bushco and the PNACers already had dibs on those oil fields to fund their neocon ambitions?

5. This is the most embarassing crap I've seen from HIM yet......

Please, god just impeach this dumb bastard and his criminals, I beg of you, he is asking for it and crying out for it!!!!!

He wants to be impeached, what other kind of moron would admit that the Americans can't let the "terrorists" take the oil fields back from America?!??!??

:crazy: :crazy:

Did Rumsfeld give him his talking points? Oh boy, Bin Laden and the terr'ists that aren't even there will take the OIL!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!

:rofl:
What side of the bed did he roll off this time? Does every single day make you wonder, is he just so out of his mind that he can't even make shit up anymore?

6. We "need"the Oil? We HAVE the oil! Where the F is is it??

Why did I just drop $40.00 in my tank two days ago when we're in charge of one of the richest oil reserves in the world?? He's been using that tired excuse for 2 years and gas has done nothing but go up. I don't understand why the red states are tolerating this crap.

7. Laden-Zarquawi will NEVER take control, that's where the lie is

For the simple reason that none of the factions fighting for the control of Iraq would ALLOW them.

They are "tolerated" right now because they blow themselves up and cause damage. The day the US leaves, they are going to leave too, to blow themselves up somewhere else. Because in Iraq they would be hunted down.

But it's true that the US departure from Iraq will be seen as a "victory", unless there is a real alternative international policy to save what can be saved in Iraq.

Since that policy will never be applied by the current administration, the US defeat in Iraq will solely be blamed on Bush and co, and nobody else.

8. People, the puppets don't even exist. There probably is no zaraqwi.

There probably is no Bin Laden anymore and I wouldn't be shocked. It's all been just a stupid con job, a game by the neocons and israelites like Wolfowitz to destroy all of Iraq, the middle east, and take their oil fields for consumption.

I'm guessing the war on terror is really the war on brain-dead americans to go in and take everyone's oil. :P
