You have got to like this guy! Quote regarding Iraq's decision to accept the UN's offer rather than shut the valve.

"You don't see six months go by that Iraq doesn't exert
some influence in the world oil market,' said Tom Blakeslee, an oil and gas trader at Eildon Marketing LLC in White Marsh, Maryland. ``About six months have gone by and Saddam was starting to think the world had forgotten about him, so he had to stir things up. He saw himself on CNN and now he's happy,' so Iraq will go along with the rollover.

Sometimes I think the so called "oil experts" act the same way. Once they see themselves on CNBC they are happy and then go with the flow.
