Somebody Finally Said It

"We're not in the Middle East to bring sweetness and light to the world. We're there to get something we and our friends in Europe depend on. Namely, oil."

That, as Max Blumenthal puts it, was "neoconservative beauty queen" Midge Decter on the Warren Olney show, 89.9, Los Angeles, 21-May-04.

Let it be noted that she gains the honour of being the very first person even remotely connected with the neocon Uh-Oh Squad to have ever told the truth. Congratulations.
