Still blaming Bush

Although much of our current mess is due to Bush, you're trying to attach the price of oil as well?

The war wasn't ever touted as a grab for a new supply of oil- so to speak. What may have happened was shift from foreign contacts for oil to domestic holders.

Market forces like the decrease in supply caused by Katrina and Speculators driving prices up which I remember (correctly?) you yourself pointing out.

Eventually Bush-Bashing will loose it's effect.

      - I've read that, too. If our refiining capacity is so low, maybe it's time to nationalize the oil industry! - Eri - 8/27/2009 7:21:57 PM

        You had to be there. OPEC, like GM, and you, and me, ain't what it used to be. - Bowser - 8/27/2009 7:43:16 PM
