5. IMO, one unspoken "gag rule" we have right now is the role of "energy
security" in our foreign policy.

Why did Dubya invade Iraq? Every reason he's given has proven to be a deliberate lie.

But reading Jim Baker and others who pinpointed Saddam's potiential for disrupting oil flows in 2001 and before provides a more logical explanation than the WH has supplied. See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph... .

IMO, the Democratic politician who first raises American dependence on imported oil in the context of disengaging from Iraq could be greeted as a truth-teller just as historically bold as John Quincy Adams.

IMO, an article of impeachment against Dubya should be devoted to the secret "Energy Task Force" Cheney was tasked to head, and the domestic corruption and possibly hundreds of thousands of Iraw casualties that may have flowed from it.
