Afghanistan was all about oil??

There have been many remarks regarding this theory on the Cellar as well as all over the US media. I think Griff made some points on this too. His comments are generally stated in a logical way, and normally inserts some humor. I think Griff is a pretty level headed guy, but I have never really bought into the "(insert military action of your choice here) is all about the oil" movements. At least not in the omnious way it often portayed as.

It may very well sound inconsistent that *I*, as a conspiracy enthusiast, could not see the logic in the Bush/911 and "Bush war for oil" scenarios. You know I love a good conspiracy. Maybe if I read the same books as the anti-war crowd I'd become a believer.

Maybe this sounds like I'm knocking Griff, but I'm not trying to. I'll let my meds kick in and repost something better.
