Foxfyre wrote about her congresswoman:
"Somebody asked her, "So oil was not an issue?"
She said, oil was an issue only to the point that Saddam controls a significant part of the world's oil reserve and it was not in the interest of anybody that he be given opportunity to control more of it. Oil for our own use was not even on the radar screen as a reason for why Iraq was invaded."
So she admitted oil was an issue. But not for America. So if we follow the logic, one of the reasons the US invaded Iraq was to secure oil for everyone else.
Well thank you very much, that really was most generous.
