McCain Drops a Bomb (No, not on Iran... yet)

For the five years since the invasion and occupation of Iraq there have been millions of people arguing the war was for oil. Each and every time these people were dismissed by Republicans as being Quacks, Communists, Socialists, Stupid, Disingenuous, Pussies, Etc. Republicans said it was about terrorism and 'Merican freedom.

Then, a couple days ago, John McCain said this.

Let's break it down:

A: McCain's soon-to-be-released energy policy will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East.
Leads to B: This will prevent us from having to send our troops into war in the Middle East.

So we did go to war for oil afterall. Wow.

The people making this argument must feel soooooo vindicated.
