Which real goals of Iraq War have any dems repudiated?
From reading Karen Kwiatkolski, Greg Palast's interview with Jay Garner, and the neocon stuff, the real causes for the Iraq War boil down to about three:

1. Direct control of Iraq's oil.

2. A base to influence, intimidate, or invade other oil producing nations as needed.

3. To stop Saddam from trading oil in Euros which was about to catch on elsewhere and cause the dollar to collapse (which it is doing anyway).


I guess it doesn't matter about the third one, but have ANY dems publicly identified and repudiated the first two? Or even identified them?

Are they all dickless weasels who secretly envy the GOPs corruption ( I don't think so and hope not, but I'd like proof).

4. Kucinich is a good guy--why aren't party leaders following suit?
are they in bed with oil too, or afraid of plane crashes, assassination, or suicide by double shotgun blasts?

7. The majority of the Dem party is supportive of ..
the Bush Regime's Agenda on Iraq. The the screw ups after the Invasion are the only dispute.
