John Kline admits Iraq is about the oil

It is astounding when Republicans get honest. It doesn't happen often, but it occasionally does. Rep. John Kline (R-MN02) had one of those moments during a July 4th parade. Of course in typical Kline-style, he was rude about it.

It’s about oil
To the editor:

John Kline surprised me at the Eagan Fourth of July Parade. He came by shaking hands. I took the opportunity to tell him to stop spending our money in Iraq ($535 billion and counting). He responded by yelling at me, “Don’t you want oil?”

I was shocked by his response. He actually seemed to be admitting that this whole fiasco was really about oil.

I think it is time to send Kline back to Texas where he belongs.

His opponent, Steve Sarvi is the exact opposite of Kline. While serving in Iraq, he decided to run against Kline. The former small town mayor and city administrator is willing to honestly and politely talk about the issues with his constituents. He's seen the costs of the occupation up close and personal. That's why he wants to end this war.
