Oil for Blood?

I have no problem whatsoever with the idea that Iraqis pay for their newfound freedoms with the resources they have to pay for the expenses that our nation incurs in fighting the battle for them.

But to have this recommendation come from the "No blood for oil" crowd shows them to pretty much be talking out both sides of their mouth.

Couple that with no drastic change in lifestyle for their alarmist "global warming" cries, and what credibility do they have? If you believe something, for pete's sake, then show it. So here's a bit of advice:

• Walk your talk. If you really believe that the US invaded Iraq to confiscate its oil, and you pillory the president for the rationale you impose upon him, but he never does it and has no plans to do it, then you look pretty silly doing it yourself and show that you, in fact, have no principles. Go Dems!
• If you have no intention of walking your talk, but you want to be breathtakingly hypocritical for political reasons, then get some lackey to suggest it and then say that you reluctantly have to go along with it.
