No one claimed any of the article itself was untrue, you dolt.  But the idea
that the next Iraq war will all be about oil is idiotic.  If all we cared
about was oil, we wouldn't need to go to war.  We'd just lift the sanctions.

I do hope, however, that the tired "no blood for oil" slogan is the best the
anti-war crowd can do.  It didn't persuade anybody in 1991, and it won't
now.
