I'll ask the question again: WHAT IS THE END GAME? An Islamic Theocracy with close ties to Iran with one violent minority and another totally autonomous minority? A country with a totally contradictory Constitution, a weak central government, a hankering towards the middle ages sitting atop what could be the world's largest easy-to-reach oil supplies? Oil spikes to a record $68/bbl. No kidding. Wasn't this the end game? Providing a way for ExxonMobil and other Bush family supporters to TAX THE CONSUMER directly. After all ExxonMobil is writing global warming scientific policy and energy policy for the Bush administration, why shouldn't it be writing its domestic economic policy and its foreign and defense policies as well? Bush has handed over the keys to the treasury to ExxonMobil. Feel TAXED?
