Political Humor | Bush Lied! Not Enough People Died!

On September 11, 2001, while President Bush was reading to young schoolchildren, he got the message, “Operation No Trade Center is a success.” He gave a wink and a nod to his aide, and finished pretending that nothing of significance had happened for another 6 minutes. He now had all the pretext he would need to begin invading nations of brown people to steal their oil.

I remember when he stood in the rubble of the World Trade Center and said, “My fellow Americans, it’s time to begin the War for Oil we concocted in Texas, prior to stealing the election and co-ordinating a modern day Pearl Harbor.”

I was with the President then. I stood by as we watched the Saddam Regime fall faster than the Moonbats could warn, “The Americans are coming! The Americans are coming!” I supported the troops while they blew off some steam at Abu Ghraib. What’s a few naked pyramids, as long as the important work gets done?

Oppressing foreigners to steal their oil is hard work, so who am I to judge when the hazing rites begin? It’s understandable that they would blow off some steam with all night Christina Aguilera dance parties, complete with swirlies for the pledges. Even the Iranians got in on the fun, with a feisty round of Execution or no Execution. “That’s the banker. His offer went up.” Although no one came away with the million dollars, a clean suit, and lovely bag of parting gifts, and a sweet book deal later, and the British sailors are no worse for the wear.

I’m losing faith in my role as cheerleader for the Bush Administration now, though. I supported the war, so that Bush’s oil cronies could supply me with cheap oil. I gave the benefit of the doubt when I didn’t see our guys murdering as many children as I thought they should. Sure, I voiced my concerns, but still I supported the President.

Oil prices still have not plummeted the way I had anticipated, and now, I have come to learn that Bush’s cronies aren’t even getting the oil we went to steal from the Iraqi people. Via CNN

Despite claims by some critics that the Bush administration invaded Iraq to take control of its oil, the first contracts with major oil firms from Iraq’s new government are likely to go not to U.S. companies, but rather to companies from China, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

It’s not just a claim by critics. We supporters were also under the same impression that the invasion of Iraq would mean direct pipelines from Baghdad to our basement. I think it may be time to accept that President Bush lied us into a war that wasn’t for oil after all.
