Brother Vern. That’s not what I said. Where did I mention Iraqi Freedom?

Perhaps you need to check out the 1980 Carter Doctrine ” which declared that any interference with U.S. oil interests in the Persian Gulf would be considered an attack on the vital interests of the United States.”

You admit now that Operation Iraqi Fiefdom was all about the oil.

I would say “Better late than never,” except that’s actually not true, this late is useless.

Good reply brother Vern.
If we had stayed with horse and buggies, and were not so dependent on foreign oil, we might be better off today.

Next best thing to his farewell address, where he vainly admonished his young country to stay away from “entangling foreign alliances” and unnecessary military adventures.
