The Daily McBush #7 - War for Oil
John McCain promises a new energy policy that will "prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East."
McBush quickly offered an unconvincing clarification, saying that when he was talking about war for oil he meant the first war in Iraq, not the second one. But his remark came just after making the claim that if we withdrew our forces form Iraq now we would have to return when violence flared up again. In other words, the reason we are in Iraq today is oil.
