Weapons of Mass Confusion
I don’t know why President Bush felt is was necessary to put all of his eggs in one basket in Iraq by making WMD’s the sole justification for getting rid of Saddam. Anyone who doesn’t understand that if Saddam had reached his stated goal, that is to gain control of the distribution of a majority of Persian Gulf oil, that the damage to our way of life would be “economic mass destruction,” is either naïve or rides a bicycle to work. Our dependence on the foreign oil we use in our cars and trucks every day cannot allow terrorists, whether they are heads of state or rouge groups, to interrupt its supply. If we don’t agree with or like the Iraq War, then the real answer is to reduce our dependence on Middle Eastern oil and disengage entirely from the clearly antagonistic Islamic world that controls much of the world’s exportable supply. This must be done by both conservation and alternative fuel sources. So, my friends, the next time you go out and turn the key on your gas guzzler, remember the real reason why President Bush went into Iraq – to protect us from ourselves. George didn’t lie to us - rather we are lying to ourselves if we believe that our dependence on Middle Eastern oil is not the real WMD we face!
