"Oil wells deserve liberty, too."

[pynchonoid]

[...] "This war is not about oil," Rumsfeld said. "Our
decision to intercede against this dictator and not
against the dozens of other ruthless dictators in the
world is not about oil. France and Russia's opposition
to this war is not about the purely coincidental fact
that both countries have lucrative, pre-existing oil
contracts with Iraq. Furthermore, the interest of many
U.S. corporations in the war has nothing to do with
oil, either. This war is about liberty. Oil wells
deserve liberty, too."

Continued Rumsfeld: "These oppressed Iraqi oil wells
deserve the right to pump oil as freely as any other
oil well on God's Earth—be it in Saudi Arabia,
Nigeria, or an Alaskan wildlife refuge. It is crass
and cynical to view this operation as being motivated
by greed, profit, or the second-largest oil reserves
in the Middle East. This war is motivated by one
thing: democracy. Our military action is meant to
provide all of Iraq's oil wells—be they big or small,
staggeringly lucrative or merely very lucrative—with
their God-given right to pump under a democratic
system of self-governance." [...]

P.S.  How galling it must be for FQ "Chickenhawk"
Morris to realize what a mistake he made, choosing to
smoke dope and pull his pud instead of going to burn
babies in Vietnam back when he had the chance.  But
thank goodness he's got Fox News to help him get his
rocks off these days.
