Admitting to previous lies as to the reason for the Iraq war that caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands does not instill trust in McCain. It puts him right down there with Bush and company imo.

It doesn't boost my trust or yours, but for many it does. People say, "hmm, he seems honest. Look! He doesn't like Bush either." Then they vote for him. It works; that's why he does it. And don't get me wrong, Obama does it too.

Blood for oil . . . . that's a heck of an energy plan Bush/McCain have going there. I don't think the general public is aware of this government program.

If I post, I'll be banned.

Imagine that. . .


PROB

Unless you walk to work, or ride a bicycle, you are why we have to go to war over oil!

The news that the invasion and occupation of Iraq for 6 years was for their oil is just now beginning to leak out to the general public. I'm not as convinced as you that will result in votes for McCain because he supports continued deaths for oil.

As to your other point, I was not aware that Obama has supported any wars for oil resulting in a hundred thousand deaths.

1st and foremost - Bush / McCain are not on the ticket it is just McCain.

2nd McCain has done as much during the Bush presidency to destroy GW as the democrats, in fact he has been much more hurtful to Bush because he is a popular Republican.

3rd - The war was fought because Saddam broke the cease fire agreement that he signed during the first gulf war. I don't know if you remember that - but the UN passed 16 or 17 resolutions trying to get him to abide by it, he didn't and GW enforced it.

Actually, I have saved enough energy since I built my passive solar house in 1984 to fuel our hybrid car to work. But that is beside the point. Sure we all need to conserve. And we need leaders to help the public understand that. It is why we are looking forward to having a real leader in the White House.

We have known we were running out of oil for at least 40 years. Jimmy Carter started a tax incentive program to reduce our dependence on oil. It was working too, builders were changing house designs to incorporate alternative forms of energy. The first thing Reagan did as president was to scrap this program. If you are looking for someone to blame, blame Reagan and every president after him.

See that isn't what other people hear and see, though. They see that he doesn't support a war for oil and that he acknowledges that we were wrong. Some see that as responsible and honest. They don't see it as him supporting death as no one would support death. I think you're just pissed off that people are dying and our politicians are just trying to get to the top in this joke of a race, which you have a right to be. I am too; but it is unrealistic to conclude that McCain loves death because he's admitted to this. You can't figure (*)(*)(*)(*) out if you come to conclusions like these.

Also, this is not JUST coming to light. We've known this since about 2003 or so. We knew this when Bush was reelected.

I don't know how you can assume that I said Obama supported the war. I think you're looking for claims where I'm not making any just to make yourself feel better. Your emotions might be getting in the way of your understanding what I'm saying. It's about strategy. Obama is using very clear strategies just like McCain is. To dispute this is ridiculous. Strategy is the reason why he's up there in the first place.
