Al Feldstein, former E.C. comics and MAD Magazine editor takes a swing at an 'Iraq is a oil war' theory...

...and over shoots the provable by a bit. [via flat earth]

But it's not that far from possible. Frankly I think it gives George and Dick more credit than they deserve, especially in light of the Woodward book [slate digest version]. And I think they think they are the good guys, so they probably wouldn’t do something like that. That's what I say to a.j. anyway when she suggests pretty much the same scenario [ noting the lack of any real true smoking gun evidence for 911 ]. But hey, stranger shit has happened in this world.

I empathise with Al’s frustration, it’s baffling and frustrating how these shits think they can lie and the smooth it over with more of the same. It's a fundamentally compulsive thing it seems with this administration, not to fess up to your own behaviour. Not to just spin and try to make it sound better, or like something other than it is, which is bad enough – sadly all politicians seem addicted to this. But this lot also tends frequently to flat out deny till faced with no choice. And even then they don't stop.
