    CYA Repugs LYING AGAIN

    Rumsfeld Flip-Flops: Now Says Harsh Interrogation Of Detainees Was ‘Critically Important’ In Bin Laden’s Death

    RUMSFELD: I’m told there was some confusion today on some programs…suggesting that I indicated that no one who was waterboarded at Guantanamo provided any information on this. That’s just not true. What I said was no one was waterboarded at Guantanamo by the U.S. military…Three people were waterboarded by the CIA…and then later brought to Guantanamo. In fact, as you point out, the information that came from those individuals was critically important.“

    Rumsfeld also agreed with Hannity that “if he [Obama] had had his way, and Democrats had their way, we wouldn’t have had this intelligence.”

    Rumsfeld Exclusive: There Was No Waterboarding of Courier Source

    Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld tells Newsmax the information that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden was obtained through “normal interrogation approaches” and says the notion that terrorist suspects were waterboarded at Guantanamo Bay is a “myth.”

    US and UK have oil contracts in Iraq that Saddam was denying them in Feb 03, preferring to deal with Russia, China, and France.

    Are you saying the US and UK oilcos are not in Iraq today?

    rofl. Too easy.

    Those who claim that the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003 to get control of the country's giant oil reserves will be left scratching their heads by the results of last weekend's auction of Iraqi oil contracts: Not a single U.S. company secured a deal in the auction of contracts that will shape the Iraqi oil industry for the next couple of decades.

    The US and UK oilcos didn't get ALL what they wanted (but they did get a lot if you look up the oil/production contracts they have), esp the production sharing agreements, but that doesn't change the motivation of why the US and UK invaded Iraq.
