FINALLY. The truth about Iraq. Why weren’t they just honest in the first place?
There it is, America – your kids are dying for oil.
And maybe, we ought to wonder WHY countries “Don’t like us”. Perhaps because we’re over there stealing their oil, and supporting kings over the people in those countries we aren’t actually stealing from?
I’m sorry, what were Exxon’s profits this year again? How much in taxes are they paying? You’re bankrupting America so Exxon can fucking profit, Bushie?
FINALLY, Bush admits our kids are dying for oil. Blood for oil is what it’s ALWAYS been about.
And all so my neighbors can drive gas-guzzling SUVs and developers can build suburban sprawl so bad you have to drive to the friggin’ grocery store to get a loaf of bread and a jug of milk? So America doesn’t have to develop a plan for a sustainable, environmentally sound future?
Thanks for admitting it. Finally.
“Give me a second here, Rush, because I want to share something with you,” Bush said. “I am deeply concerned about a country, the United States, leaving the Middle East.”
Bush said that he was “worried that rival forms of extremists will battle for power, obviously creating incredible damage if they do so; that they will topple modern governments, that they will be in a position to use oil as a tool to blackmail the West.”
Some might say that has already happened, Mr. Bush, and the extremist is YOU. Look in a friggin’ mirror.
“People say, ‘What do you mean by that?'” The president continued. “I say, ‘If they control oil resources, then they pull oil off the market in order to run the price up, and they will do so unless we abandon Israel, for example, or unless we abandon allies.'”
“You couple that with a country that doesn’t like us with a nuclear weapon, and people will look back at this moment and say, ‘What happened to those people in 2006?’ and those are the stakes in this war we face,” Bush said.
No, Mr. Bush, those are the stakes in the election you face, that people might just wake the fuck up and realize their kids are dying so your oil buddies can make a big, fat profit. But some of us have been saying that would happen since 2000, when you oil men were first trying to steal the reins of power. Thanks for FINALLY admitting to America, “You’ve been used.”
