The 'Greenspan Awakening'

Drudge is running a Red Light Banner.. Greenspan says Iraq war was about oil.

No shi'ite sherlock! The question being whether Iraq's oil reserves would be controlled by a belligerent genocidal sociopath or a duly elected democratic government.

There are many more reasons for removing the regime of which this is just one. For me his igorning 17 UN resolutions, his attempted assassination of GHW Bush, his genocide of the Kurds and Shia, his abrogation of the 91 cease fire agreement, his attack on Kuwait, his burning of the oil wells and dumping oil in the Arabian Gulf, his payments to young Palestinian murder's families, his harboring and training of terrorists, his quest for more lethal weaponry were sufficient reasons to attack him. So why not throw the 'Greenspan Awakening' in for good measure?

Of course this plays into the hands of the historically-challenged neo-leftists but I have news for them... almost every major war in history has been about the control of resources. Whether it is Spice, Drugs, Steel, Food, Living Space or Oil. This is why Japan attacked us.. we stopped sending them steel and other comodities. Hitler attacked Romania and Russia for Oil. The British went to war with China over Opium and eventually created an empire to control natural resources as did the Romans, the Greeks, , France, Spain... nothing new here folks. The entire American history is predicated on control of resources.

But to the clueless 'progressive' moonbat this will just appear to validate their BDS.

I mean, for them, history is so... yesterday.

Withdraw the troops...from Korea

President Bush's response should have been..."We too look forward to the day the Korean conflict is over so we can withdraw out troops from the Korean Penninsula."

Well, at least Barney Frank isn't bumping his feet against this guy. Can't have members of Congress exhibiting lewd behavior in public can we ?

Obama: Net Gain of Zero

Ref: This article

Obama +1: Yes this mantra of Hillary blaming the Republican attack machine is getting old and is a little juvenile. Every single time some truth about what a typical sleazy politician she is comes out then it is the Republican's fault when they are merely pointing out an obvious fact. In the case where it is not necessarily a Republican, per se, then she broadens it to be the Right-Wing attack machine.

A politician that would get my attention is one that comes out and says something like "I am running for the Presidency and not against candidate A, B, or C".

Obama -1: We all know damn well that Michelle was referring to Hillary Clinton's toleration of Bill's propensity to think with the wrong head. Lying and spinning only makes them look like lawyers.

And a note to all of them: George Bush cannot run again so quit running against him.

There must be a deep sadness at the New York Times to have to print this and for Harry Reid to have to read it.
