Speaking in Denver last week John McCain made a statement that suggests sending our troops to the Middle East is based on oil rather than the official stated reasons.  Perhaps not a suprise for many but certainly to openly state it is shocking.

<blockquote>"My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking
about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East
that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women
into conflict again in the Middle East,"</blockquote>

Now there's a senior moment, <i>Doh!</i>
