A new excuse for Iraq
This is getting a lot of attention from the liberal blogs, or I wouldn't be posting it.
President Bush answered growing antiwar protests yesterday with a fresh reason for US troops to continue fighting in Iraq: protection of the country's vast oil fields, which he said would otherwise fall under the control of terrorist extremists. (. . .)
''If Zarqawi and [Osama] bin Laden gain control of Iraq, they would create a new training ground for future terrorist attacks," Bush said. ''They'd seize oil fields to fund their ambitions. They could recruit more terrorists by claiming a historic victory over the United States and our coalition."
Why wouldn't I be posting it? Because the left already knows that this war was a fraud from the start, and those who still support it are beyond reason. But there it is.
