Hey Tony,
Feel free to use this. The NYT reports….
Among the dozens of documents in English were Iraqi reports written in the 1990’s and in 2002 for United Nations inspectors in charge of making sure Iraq abandoned its unconventional arms programs after the Persian Gulf war. Experts say that at the time, Mr. Hussein’s scientists were on the verge of building an atom bomb, as little as a year away.
The talking point:
“Let’s remember, if what the New York Times says is true, if President Bush hadn’t invaded Iraq, Saddam Hussein would still be power and have a nuclear weapon by now.”
Simple. Concise. Deadly.
Robert,
Of course the Iraq War is about oil. No one ever denied that.
It’s just not about oil in the way I believe you think it means, Robert.
I’m tired of having to educate dolts who ignore the facts of an oil-based economy and geography when they blather about “no war for oil!” and such sh*t.
Unless, of course, those who b*tch about “no war for oil!” are willing to allow new drilling off US coastal waters and ANWR. If so, at least they will finally be offering a reasonable alternative in the short term – something I haven’t seen coming out of that crowd.
/sigh
“Simple. Concise. Deadly.”
and Wrong.
