McCain: Stríð í M-Austurlöndum vegna olíu

Kallinn missti þetta útúr sér á fundi.

"My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East"

Síðan hefur hann reynt að segja að hann hafi alls ekki meint það sem hann sagði...og þó.

No, no, I was talking about that we had fought the Gulf War for several reasons," McCain told reporters.

One reason was Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, he said. "But also we didn't want him to have control over the oil, and that part of the world is critical to us because of our dependency on foreign oil, and it's more important than any other part of the world"
