<<...it looks like someone in the Bush administration wants high oil prices...>> I'm not so sure Bush and Cheney would want oil prices to get too high (since it could destabilize an already fragile U.S. economy and interfere with the potential invasion of Iraq). Scott, not much of a chance here if you guys cant get on the same page on this stuff. And when I say "stuff" I mean the actual topics you're fighting for. As far as the base themes like "SAVE SADDAM", "NO DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ", And the everpresent 'BLAME AMERICA FIRST". They seem to be appropriately themed in almost every post. When are you guys going to pick who gets which sign for the coming protests? ps: Just kidding ggggg ;)

I'm not so sure Bush and Cheney would want oil prices to get too high (since it could destabilize an already fragile U.S. economy and interfere with the potential invasion of Iraq). ????? The higher the price of oil, the more necessary it is to invade Iraq. Oil reserves Iraq are second only to Saudi Arabia, and the higher the price of oil, the more America needs Iraqi oil. American voters will not stand for high oil and gas prices for long. Sustained high oil and gas prices threaten the American economy, way of life and standard of living. A new leader and regime friendly to the USA is needed in Bagdad asap and one that will invite lots of American investment and pump lots of oil, keeping world prices depressed, ensuring that America gets its fill first before the British, Europeans, Chinese, and Russians.
