[img_assist|nid=1654|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=420|height=212]When U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Seattle) took to the House floor last Wednesday, one of Politicker.com cartoonist Rob Tornoe's recent cartoons  served as a backdrop for his criticism of the Bush administration and what he claims were their true motivations for war with Iraq:

"War Secretary Donald Rumsfeld may have said that invading Iraq had nothing to do with oil. But the announcement that western oil companies would get what they have lusted for says otherwise. And editorial cartoonist Rob Tornoe of Politicker-dot-com summed up the world view the other day in the cartoon displayed behind me. He spoke truth to power with one compelling image.

It says all at once that this entire war -- its tragic casualties and immense cost –- was all about oil."
