Remember back not too long ago when we went to Iraq to rid the country of Saddam and his WMDs?, and then, oops!, there were none? Or remember when he said that we were there to liberate Iraq and bring them freedom and democracy? That one lasted for a while. But now he’s said what we’ve all known this was really about…oil. He said the other day that, “If Zarqawi and bin Laden gain control of Iraq, they would create a new training ground for future terrorist attacks; they’d seize oil fields to fund their ambitions; they could recruit more terrorists by claiming an historic victory over the United States and our coalition.” So we’re really there to keep the oil fields from falling into the wrong hands. I think everyone knew that to begin with…why did he have to come up with ridiculous excuses for going over there? With his approval rating at an all time low (45%), it seems a lot of the people who said “W 04!” have since changed their minds about his agenda. To all those people, “Told ya so.”
From now on we should stop saying pre-9/11 and post-9/11 and replace it with pre-George W. Bush and post-George W. Bush.
I’ll bet that in the post-George W. Bush society, we’ll have less terrorism, cheaper gas prices, less global warming, a bull market, and free helper monkeys for everyone. I can’t wait!!
