Cheney was Halliburton's CEO and a leader in the Petroleum Institute, while the Bush family and James Baker are in the Saudi and Kuwaiti inner circles as well as Chevron, Exxon, Reliant, you name it. Cheney is in with the Kuwaits and Saudis too. Carlyle provgided security for the Saudis. This stems from billions of business done in the past, plus the Gulf War and many other tentacled connections. Like one big family. Together, this group can and does control world oil prices, at least to a meaningful degree. Around 2000, I noticed reports that the usually politically neutral Petroleum Institute was actively backing deregulation which was the cornerstone of Bush-Cheney-Enron types push to jack up prices, expand drilling into wildlife sanctuaries and national parks and knock down environmental laws. Add to that the aggressive Enron-led phony energy crisis of 2000-2001 which was also connected to the Bush campaign and RNC. This signalled a clear move on the part of Big Oil and other energy companies to get while the getting was good, with the protection of Bush-Cheney and friends. Since Cheney of Halliburton was one of the top leaders within the Petroleum Institute and the Bush family are so close to the Arabs, Chevron, Enron and so many others, it stands to reason that at some point in some manner the leaders of these energy giants got together and decided to get their boys elected, therefore clearing the way for Big Oil's frustrated dreams to finally come true. Under Bush-Cheney, those dreams have come true. Gas prices have doubled and environmental laws are largely knocked down. They are within one step of completing their dreams, getting into ANWR. Once they get into one wildliofe sanctuary, it sets a new precedent. Parks and refuges will become fair game for drilling. And of cour deregulation means they can all do what they want without anyone enforcing laws or ethical fair play. This is a monopoly and a very corrupt one. Not only that, but some of that oil money goes to fund Al Qaida.
