McWAR AGREES WITH ALAN GREENSPAN & FRED BARNES

You may recall that in his memoirs, Alan Greenspan said that the Iraq War was about oil and Fred Barnes agreed. Now, St. Maverick Straight-talk McWAR tells us the same thing (via Atrios, who also has the video clip):

My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will - that will then prevent us - that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East.

McWAR WHORE lamely tries to back away from this by claiming that he was talking about the 1st Gulf War:

McCain clarifies remark about oil, Iraq war
By LIBBY QUAID – 6 hours ago

PHOENIX (AP) — Republican John McCain was forced to clarify his comments Friday suggesting the Iraq war involved U.S. reliance on foreign oil. He said he was talking about the first Gulf War and not the current conflict.

The expected GOP nominee sought to clarify his comments later, after his campaign plane landed in Phoenix. He said he didn't mean the U.S. went to war in Iraq five years ago over oil.

"No, no, I was talking about that we had fought the Gulf War for several reasons," McCain told reporters.

McWAR can't get away that easily, though, because in the same AP report, he says this:

"The Congressional Record is very clear: I said we went to war in Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction," he said

Then where are they, Sen. McWAR???
