George finally shows his cards.: The truth about the Rush interview.
Edited on Wed Nov-01-06 08:33 PM by jazzjunkysue
"We were screaming in the streets: no blood for oil, which, of course, you know, most Americans consider a bargain – blood for oil, as long as it’s not their blood, right? But in fact, it wasn’t blood for oil. It was blood for no oil. It was blood to make sure that not too much oil would flow and bust the market. Oil had been down under Bill Clinton to eighteen bucks a barrel. Now it’s over $70 a barrel." -- Greg Palast: Armed Madhouse

George is so desperate, he finally admitted what this entire occupation was about from the start: The price of oil.

Greg Palast had outlined this entire issue in his book Armed Madhouse. Get the listening CD: It's easier to listen to than to read.

So, does anyone think we'd hvae bought into the occupation, if, instead of WMD's and Hussein's aggression, we were told:

"We occupied Iraq because Hussein was screwing with the price of oil by alternately dumping too much oil into the market, lowering the price, and then withholding it, thereby raising it. OPEC was sick and tired of the yo-yo prices. It made doing business in the oil industry highly unpredictable. Difficult to make a profit, when someone else is manipulating the price, instead of you."

And, how will US military families take the news that their sons and daughters died to level the oil market?

This tells you how desperate * is. He's terrified, and he's willing to finally tell the truth.

This is a chimp with nothing to lose.

The house is ours.
