John McCain Confirms America's WAR for OIL Policy!

Here's what McCain said:

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

As Matthews rightly says:

“You know, if somebody else were to say that, they would be accused of being a communist, or radical, or a leftist…for John McCain, a war hero, to say that we’re fighting in the Middle East to protect our oil sources is an astounding development.”

As far as gaffes go, this is up there with the best of them. But, as the press are totally on board for McCain they will fall over themselves to say he didn't mean what he quite clearly stated.
