Wait, I thought it was to steal their oil or something?

Liberal radio host Thom Hartmann unleased the latest moonbat conspiracy theory on his radio show Monday in response to a caller disparaging government (audio):

HARTMANN: No, I would submit to you that the reason we’re at war is because big oil companies bought Ronald Reagan, they bought his election, they brought him into office, the big oil companies. He took the solar panels off the roof of the White House, he said we’re not going to have a national energy policy any more. We’re going to keep on buying our oil from the Middle East. He goes, those big oil companies are making a pile of money on that. And at the time we didn’t have the domestic reserves. We had, you know, we had, we weren’t doing fracking or gas or whatever, and — bingo! (promo break)

And you went to war in the Middle East because you had George W. Bush as president who back a year and a half before he was elected said he was going to go to war in Iraq ’cause it would give him the power to privatize Social Security for his bankster buddies!
