Quote by: dilligras  When we turned over Iraqi oil matters to the Iraqis in August of '03, only a few months after we ousted Saddam and his murdering thugs, the lefties reflexively and loudly complained that Iraq would never be made to pay any part of the cost of their regime change or reconstruction and that Americans were being unfairly used in a region that shouldn't matter to them.
Now that the Iraqis are showing their gratitude by showing preferrence to Coalition companies, the left is quick to lift its muzzle to the barely-shadowed moon, while it squeals a plaintive, high-pitched cry to rival that of Chris Matthews-- a high-pitched wailing that pierces the soul as it drifts forth over the misty moors of Democrat discontent.
"No blood for oil!" is the earnest bleating du jour, pulled blithely from the talking point pdf file of code pink's media darling traitors.

The "Iraqis showing their gratitude"???? ROTFLMBO Surely you jest!!
Taking control of Iraq (and by definition, their oil) was planned by the PNAC way back in the 90s. They were to have 4 permanent army bases in Iraq and the largest embassy in the world. Doesn't sound to me like we're planning on leaving any time soon. And if we're not leaving, we're sure not gonna keep our sticky paws off their resources. I can see Exxon drooling now.
