With a commodity such as oil, even if there was no direct import of oil from Iraq, you can always say that we are dependent on them for oil, since they sell to the pool we buy from. How the deliveries take place is secondary. Joe, that's bull and you know it. There are different grades of crude and I understand there are qualitative differences even within grades. I am sure companies can make their oil purchases based on certain specifications. The problem is no one is requiring our corporations to comply with the diplomatic stands taken by our gov't. It sure looks like American hypocrisy to me even when the oil is purchased as part of the food for oil program. We expect other gov'ts to condemn Saddam and then we go and trade with him. ted
