Edwards "50 cents per gallon is a tax for the Iraq war"....
...Edwards just said this at a live event in Colorado.

Do you realize that at 700 million gallons per day - Americans are paying out of pocket 350 million dollars for the Iraq war.

Edwards also said that all of this money goes to Big Oil interests and the Saudi's.

Ouch!!!

Big oil interests and the Saudi's are making a KILLING off of the American obsession with SUVs and the Bush "energy policy."

2. $350 million a day, not just $350 million.

On edit:

That's $127 billion a year thrown the bush crony's way.

3. If the government got that 50 cents it would be a tax
but of course only the Bush-Cheney energy cartel profits.
