So...John McCain Says the Iraq War is About Oil...And it is All Over MSM...But Not Here?
In honour of Genghis' admonition of just posting links to videos, I will do just that:
McCain Fucks Up Big Time.
It seems that we are (once again) too busy bickering about whether lying to the electorate is good politics or not to tear this bastard to shreds.
So, how do we exploit his inadvertent honest.. I mean misstatement?

I think McCain's new nickname should be Captain Obvious.

McCain said, "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 - that will then prevent us - that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East."
Obama said the same yesterday in south Bend IN. He was discussing energy policy and the middle east, comparing it to our inaction in Dafur and Tibet, the difference being our security concerns which code for oil.

Yep, thanks for that link! Hopefully this gets some play in contrast to McCain.

Its big news to me, many still refuse to believe this. I emailed it all over.
I think he said it because its true, and at 70 its hard to keep all the lies straight, all the positions credible (healthcare, housing crash) and consistent (Iraq, torture, Irag again). Another juicy case in point.
PS- He wont sign the GI bill because it will limit active duty rotations and therefore the backdoor draft.
