They still think it's about oil?

Tim Grieve somehow still thinks that Iraq is about the oil. Right. We spent half a trillion dollars when we could have bought all of Iraq's oil for a hundred billion dollars and now we're letting upwards of 95% of it go to other countries. If this is a war from oil, why haven't we gotten any?

Grieve is correct that the intentions of neoconservatives have been transparent right from the start. They even put up a website and made it clear what they wanted. They felt, and still feel, that having a free, liberal democracy in Iraq would take the region from tyrannical dictators intent on annihilating the Israelis and instituting a world-wide caliphate and spread free, liberal democracy to everyone.
