Hi teevee; Re the price of oil and war. Interestingly, oil hardly moved up back in November when the UN voted for Resolution 1441, etc:


Brent WTI
Nov 4 25.72 26.98
Nov 5 24.57 26.13
Nov 6 23.86 25.78
Nov 7 24.08 25.38
Nov 8 24.08 25.78
Nov 11 23.94 25.93
Nov 12 23.79 25.88
Nov 13 22.60 25.15
Nov 14 22.51 25.28
Nov 15 22.51 25.53

The UN vote was late on November 8th. Iraq's rubber stamp parliament voted against accepting on the 12th, and Saddam accepted anyway on the 14th. But oil hardly moved.

Hi Teevee.. remember me??

What you say is very logical on the price side, but I don't think Bush would risk the oil flow from Venezuela, and in fact he didn't , that's why the Venezuelan opposition is asking him to stop being ambiguous and take a stand, the best option for a fast, sure and standing in time, return to normal oil flow from Venezuela is a pro USA Democracy.
