Kids! Grandpa's had another senior moment! At a town hall meeting today, he essentially conceded the point that the Iraq war was over oil. Crooks and Liars has the video, which includes Chris Matthews talking about something other than Jeremiah Wright, and here's the quote:
“My friends, I will have an energy policy which will eliminate our dependence on oil from Middle East that will then prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East.” My friends, I wonder if tomorrow, Grampy might admit that we've become the world's first Western torture democracy?
