McCain tries to explain his latest gaffe...
He meant that other war in the Middle East. Just keep running your mouth, moran.


"PHOENIX - 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.

At issue was a comment he made at a town hall-style meeting Friday morning in Denver.

"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 prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East," McCain said.

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, absolutely not. We didn't go into
Iraq over oil. No way. Not in a million
years. We'd n e v e r do that.

6. Sadly 50% of people don't mind murdering and stealing for oil...
These knuckle draggers may still vote for a Democratic candidate based on pocketbook issues, but I wouldn't be surprised if this gaffe was an intentional attempt to win them over. The clarification was an attempt to get a few more. In a good society this crap would instantly disqualify someone from candidacy.

8. Hey, Johnny....
If we would NEVER have to fight a middle-east war again if we were independent of their oil, and the Iraq war wasn't about oil...THEN WHY THE HELL ARE WE IN IRAQ NOW? Dumbass.

9. If you ever talk to someone who thought it was a good idea
to wage a war on Iraq for oil, tell them the mistake they made was thinking the price of oil would go down. Bush got exactly what he wanted: the price of oil to go up.
