"No blood for oil" put to rest

I just thought this was a good weblog post to finally put to rest the nonsensical arguments about "blood for oil" we always heard during the lead-in to war in Iraq: The blood was never for oil... (via IP).

What I think is important to note about this entire episode is not only that the anti-war crazies carrying "no blood for oil" signs and giant bloody puppets of George Bush were wrong, but that they shouldn't be listened to in general. I think things like this bring the entire anti-war movement's credibility into question -- if their communist ties and irrational Bush hatred didn't do that already.

That is sweet how it mathematically (in a non-scientific, but close enough sort of way) erases the possibility that "blood for oil" was true...

Thanks for that one, my friends will like the read.
