It's Still About the Oil

The recently published list of recommendations (see #62 and 63) from the Iraq Study Group should erase any remaining holdouts from reality that the whole 'adventure' in Iraq was about oil - nothing more. The scare tactics abouts WMD were lies. The lofty talk about instilling democracy in the Middle East were lies. The need to bring freedom to the Iraqi's by toppling Saddam Hussein were lies. This had been planned for a long time - all that was needed was the power to get it done.

It was - and is - about oil.
