Wolfowitz: Iraq war WAS about oil
    #1608688 - 06/04/03 05:03 PM (20 years, 9 months ago)

Story

I don't understand how Bush is letting Wolfowitz get away with this.

Will he be fired?

As long as the Guardian is the only source reporting this, then no one will really care.

I hate to say "I told you right-wingers so" but...no actually I don't hate it at all....I'm revelling in the moment. An actual member of the administration is admitting it IS "All about the oil"... my mission here is complete .

Somehow, I suspect that even this won't affect Bush's popularity. America hasn't gotten outraged at anything their government did in a good long while, even while being screwed over more than they have in years.

Apparently Wolfowitz has lost his patience with dimplomacy and bureaucracy--there are several more major wars to hold to achieve the neoconservative project for world supremacy ( http://www.newamericancentury.org/ ), and he could be right that it's unrealistic to think they can keep finding "hysterical" motives to win domestic and international support, war after war. Better to put everything on the table and hope there are enough U.S. citizens who go along. That way the same reason--economic significance ("we just have no choice") will serve every time.

And to hell with the rest of the world. We don't need them, they need US, man!

I have to say, this surprised even me. Even I didn't think this war could actually be ALL about oil, but apparently it was.

Isn't the Guardian the paper that even Alpo laughs at?

Lets see it in a more credible source with another White House member confirming.

Or do "libbies" believe everything they read without confirmation?

I've searched other news sources and none of them other than the Guardian have this story, so I'll withhold judgement on this one.

I think you're thinking of a different paper. The Guardian has to be the best newspaper in the UK.

1. I didn't respond to you.
2. Libbies is in quotes indicating a good natured poke at libbies in general.

Therefore.... it doesn't matter what you are.

Good idea, actually. Anyone here read German?

The latest comments were made by Mr Wolfowitz in an address to delegates at an Asian security summit in Singapore at the weekend, and reported today by German newspapers Der Tagesspiegel and Die Welt.

My German's a little rusty, but I might be able to handle it.

It is a left wing paper, but:

"Let's look at it simply. The most important difference between North Korea and Iraq is that economically, we just had no choice in Iraq. The country swims on a sea of oil."

That doesn't leave much room for bias, IMO.

If it wasn't for an American named Ford, all these mid-east royal fuckers would be sitting on sand selling sand and eating sand to survive. Thanks to Ford and the write bros we put these dudes on the map and made them rich. And as usual we feed em and they bite our hand.

I didn't say that I believe it 100%. In fact I had a hard time believing it because it should be a major story.

I agree with Revelation though, that if Wolfowitz was quoted accurately, then that doesn't leave much room for bias.
