Charlie Rangel just admitted we went to war for Oil on Tucker |
|
"I don't think anyone argues we were well intentioned...but everybody needs oil, and so did we."
I'm slightly paraphrasing...but that's basically what he said.

1. I heard it -- he was saying BushCo should admit that |
|
That was my interpretation, anyway...

5. I'd say, as he voted against the damn thing - he has nothing to admit or apologize |
|
for - unlike some candidates who reinvented themselves as "anti-war" as of 2005.

He used Tucker like a Swiffer and cleaned the floor with him.
An excellent segment that I hope will find its way to You Tube.

4. Rangel is no oil hungry Bushco enabler -- so I am pretty sure he was refering to Bushco's motives |

6. Yes, and the other partner countries, too |
|
It sounded like that when he said "...and others...".

8. Yes, I think he was making a point in a sarcastic way |
|
"Nobody will question their motives if they just say, 'We needed the oil, others needed the oil, and now it's a mess and we need help'" -- that's a bad paraphrase...

9. It sounds like he was being hilariously ironical. Like a school kid |

telling his Mum, "I didn't mean him no harm, Mum, but everyone's got to have a cell-phone, or you're not cool...!" It doesn't seem to have been missed by little Tommy Tucker either...! Probably a look of lightly mocking scorn in his eyes only Tommy could see.
