''If Zarqawi and [Osama] bin Laden gain control of Iraq, they would create a new training ground for future terrorist attacks," Bush said. ''They'd seize oil fields to fund their ambitions. They could recruit more terrorists by claiming a historic victory over the United States and our coalition."
When the oil theory was first put forth by some of my fellow bloggers I will admit that I found myself lacking enough cynicism to believe it. I humbly apologize for doubting those of my peers who saw this fiasco for what it was. It is a hostile corporate takeover. With the emphasis on HOSTILE!
So now while our fellow citizens are trying to stay alive in Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, etc., we find ourselves dangerously short of the brave men and women that we rely on in times of desperation, the National Guard. Where are our rescuers? They are trying to stay alive themselves in a foreign land, embroiled in a war for oil! And this, while their families and communities await rescue from National Guard troops from as far away as New York.
If this president had an ounce of shame he would come to the podium with tear streaked eyes and beg America's forgiveness. Then he would send for those brave National Guard troops and get them home as soon as possible. Home where they are needed!
