Cheney's bogus oil argument
Vice president warns against al-Qaida taking Iraq's oil, despite all evidence to the contrary.
Steve Benen [2008-04-11]

  • Traction

    I guess there isn't much traction with Iran-based fearmongering right now, because it seems it would be far more realistic that an Iranian backed faction could take over Iraq after an American pullout. A puppet government in Iraq could then funnel oil money to Iran covertly which would subvert future U.N. attempts to sanction Iran for nuclear weapons production. I'm not saying that is likely, but it seems far more realistic (in a Tom Clancy universe kind of way) than al-frickin'-Qaida takeover.
