President Bush admitted over the weekend that one of the reasons for the Iraqi War is to preserve the price of oil. As all his other excuses fell flat I guess he finally had to admit to some truth. After hearing the excuses of WMDs (not true), terrorist support (unsupported), involved with 9/11 (not true), to bring freedom (civil war?), its finally down to oil. To get here it cost the "just a comma" of nearly 3,000 US dead, 600000 Iraqi dead and billions of dollars. Absolutely disgusting and our Republican "leaders" allowed it. They should be held accountable by the electorate but sadly most will not be.
Keith Olbermann provided a Special Comment on this that is worth seeing. He has just as outrage a view and adds an interesting point, with all the various excuses on the war, is Bush just making it up as he goes?
Transcript and video is here.
