My whole theme is that I try to discuss the truth and not propagate an agenda under false pretenses.

All governments create straw horses to mask their true intent, this goes back to the nature of the beast. This is nothing unique to America.

Without oil, Saddam would be killing people as he pleases. Had Saddam taken a shining to the US and sold us oil cheap, he would be killing his people as he pleases.

Political reality is not pretty. It is not about anything but securing the future of America. Deposing a foe and installing a new pro-America democratic regime is what we are doing now, to secure our future supply of oil.

However, those in power like to pretend to themselves and the masses. The fact that "everybody knows" as Leonard Cohen so eloquently put it, is by and by.
