Hillary made comments to the Council on Foreign Relations a few months ago indicating that she knows it's about the oil. Now, we have Republican Hagel mentioning oil and nothing about "bringing Iraq democracy" or "WMDs" or any of the other silly pretexts. Was capturing Saddam the worst mistake that this adimistration made for itself? I mean, no WMDs, no Saddam, no decent pretext is left.
Hagel mentioned that the Inspector General testified before Congress this week, and "reminded all of us that we have now spent almost a half a trillion dollars in Iraq," and "have put at least 40 billion in economic development there, [w]hich we don't know what we got out of it."
"There's still no oil law," Hagel added. "Billions of dollars have been ripped off, unaccounted for, and one more point on this -- over $12 billion of Iraqi money still sits in the accounts of the Iraqi government that they haven't spent. So something has to give here, George."
