War For Oil

John Mc Cain's admission yesterday the Iraq war is about oil is not the first time he has said this. In his senate speech on Iraq he was clear on his belief the war was necessary to keep "the flow of energy" from the middle east.

The sad part is we have a congress and president that believes it is somehow rational to put the lives of our young men and women on the line for oil. Sad, not just because we have better energy alternatives available to us, but sad because our leaders show so little regard for the lives of our warriors. How could they vote to send these men and women into a battle that they knew was simply to protect oil-pipelines and keep companies like Haliburton and multi-national oil companies in business.

This is the year and time for Americans to make a decision on the future of the country. In spite of the blathering nonsense from the spin bitches on cable, it should be clear to every one of us that what we don't need is a continuation of the 30+ years of political experience that has put us into our current situation.
