First I'd like to say that I don't buy that "we went to war for the oil" excuse. Not a single person who's used this line on me has been able to tell me where all that oil is that we supposedly went there to get. Iraq is an OPEC nation, so we don't have any greater access to their oil supply now than we did before. And if we did, gas prices would be much, much lower.
But I do think there were darker forces at work behind this whole thing. I now introduce the subject of the unholy trinity.
- Which three nations provided us with the bad intelligence that got us into the war? Answer: France, Russia, and Germany.
- Which three nations on the UN Security Council kicked up the biggest fuss before the unanimous vote approving the use of force? Answer: France, Russia, and Germany.
- And which three nations, despite having no troops on the ground there have benefitted greatly from lucrative contracts in post-Saddam Iraq? Answer: France, Russia, and Germany.
Conclusion: we were set up. They knew after 9/11 we were not going to sit back when there was a possibility that one of our longest-standing enemies--a man who allowed Al Qaida to operate training camps in his country, offered $25,000 to the family of any suicide bomber who killed Americans or Israelis, and basically issued an open invitation to bin Laden to crash at his place any time--was developing weapons we know he would use against us, or sell to the terrorists so they could use them against us.
Tune in next week as I explain why we were set up. Until then, God bless you.
