Re: Those that believe in the "Bush/Cheney oil conspiracy theory," like Win, would have a lot to explain. The two are not mutually exclusive, Bill. The issue is far more complicated than that. There will certainly be oil companies who will be significant net beneficiaries after the Iraq mess is resolved as the US administration sees fit.

I am nothing if not amused when the local right rabble invents various straw man positions and attributes them to me. What, precisely, is "the Bush/Cheney oil conspiracy theory" which I allegedly believe in? I do believe that Cheney had this secret task force that set energy policy for W, but that's sort of a matter of public record, as it were. Ken Lay, we hardly knew ye. All the big time "dot connectors" seem to be on the right, and strangely enough, they always want to be pinning random straw man theories on those not properly "right". Funny how that works. Maybe it has something to do with the "war is peace" mentality.
