Is It Some Truth? Could It Be Political Opportunism?
The Associated Press reports:
CORONADO, Calif. -- President Bush answered growing antiwar protests yesterday with a fresh reason for US troops to continue fighting in Iraq: protection of the country's vast oil fields, which he said would otherwise fall under the control of terrorist extremists.
I believe one of two things is happening here. One: we're finally getting a glimpse into the administration's real reason for going to war. Two: Bush is trying to earn some more of that political capital he's always talking about by prostituting the Katrina devastation and the resulting rise in oil prices.
I pray it's the former. I fear it's the latter.
