GRAPHIC: Cheney's 2001 oil map & new doubled Iraq reserves

[yurbud]

Please print this out, send it to your Congressman and Senators, and tell them to cut the shit. We know what Bush is doing in Iraq, and if they don't start talking about it, we can only assume they disapprove of him failing, not his original oil theft mission.

Not incidently, this oil isn't for us. It's for American oil companies to set the price and collect the profits, which they don't have a good track record of sharing with us.

1. No, silly....

the Iraq war is about weapons of mass destruction (that Saddam didn't have), It was about Saddam obtaining yellow cake uranium (which he never did), it was about mobile biological weapons manufacturing facilities (that they could never find) it was about not allowing U.N. weapons inspectors unfettered access to all Iraqi sites (which they had), it was about Saddam's torture and rape rooms (under the new ownership and operation of the U.S. military and Blackwater) and it was about Saddam gassing his own people (with the gas provided by the U.S. and tacit approval to do so).

It WAS NOT about oil! There, you've been corrected. :sarcasm:

10. Don't forget that Saddam was harboring Al-Queda terrarists and was

involved in the attacks of 9/11.

3. People don't need to know this kind of thing.

People want bi-partisanship. Impeachment is off the table. You shouldn't put things like this up. We're fighting a war against global terrorism. We're a good, Christian nation.:sarcasm:

8. Remember what Bush said to the Iraqis at the start of the war

With the announcement of shock and awe he also said: "Do not destroy the oil fields. They are a source of wealth for the Iraqi people." :rofl:
