That’s right, liars, all of ‘em, on both sides of the false dichotomy.Anyone foolish enough to believe illegal wars and the slaughter of innocents – not to mention our sons and daughters run through the military meat grinder in support of the abject greed of the filthy rich – can somehow be reduced to some kind of partisan red/blue thing is either a tool or a dupe.So, which do you profess to be?
That we didn’t get any oil is only proof that the neocons are not only insane, they are incompetent too. The turning point was when the American people couldn’t stand the truth from Carter and elected Alzheimer Ronny the right-wing puppet. Haven’t had a decent president since, although some are worse than others.
Wolfowitz: “Iraq will pay for itself through oil revenues"Wolfowitz, testifying before congress on March 27, 2003: “There’s a lot of money to pay for this. It doesn’t have to be U.S. taxpayer money. We are dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon.”Rumsfeld: "I don’t know that there is much reconstruction to do.”Richard Armitage: "“This is not Afghanistan…When we approach the question of Iraq, we realize here is a country which has a resource. And it’s obvious, it’s oil. And it can bring in and does bring in a certain amount of revenue each year…$10, $15, even $18 billion…this is not a broke country.”Rumsfeld again: ““I don’t believe that the United States has the responsibility for reconstruction, in a sense…[Reconstruction] funds can come from those various sources I mentioned: frozen assets, oil revenues and a variety of other things, including the Oil for Food, which has a very substantial number of billions of dollars in it.”
Oh, and in 2003, Wolfowitz suddenly said it would be very expensive before Congress.So, grayhares, how’s your reality now? Some of us actually HAVE facts.

It was a good article, but “brainwashing” actually implies there was something there to “wash”.
