Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and other so-called Neo-cons are
responsible for starting the false war in Iraq that caused the
now perpetual high oil price, combined with their tax cuts and
the crippling war spending that resulted in the US now being in a
virtual depression.

I haven't been following this thread, so I don't know who wrote
what, but I don't see anything "looney"about the above quote.

No, I suppose you wouldn't. The insane will never recognize
insanity. To you, it's normal.

I don't see what's wrong with it either. We went to war with Iraq
because of - oh, Saddam insulted Bush's daddy. No, that wasn't it.
WMDs? Ah, no, though the idea that gas is a WMD is pretty funny in a
world where we dropped Agent Orange all over Vietnam. Um, Oh, because
Saddam was about to get an atomic bomb, that was it. Oh, no, that was
fabricated by Cheney.

Hmm, why did we go to war with Iraq? Oh, it was because of something
that a true American Hero, Maj Gen Smedley Butler, wrote about a while
back. It was so that the wealthy could profit off yet another country.
Yes, that was it. Our taxes fund a war so that the wealthy can make
more money and create jobs overseas.

Maybe the fact that the oil companies met with Cheney to divide up Iraqs oil
fields long before 9/11 might be a clue.

Yeah, XOM owns Iraq now. Oops.
