"Which merely proves how effective the secret Bush/Cheney energy plan has been.

The average American doesn't understand what the mission was or is...."


Not to mention, the average AmeriMORON is still blaming OPEC for it all....

But then the "media" is the source of that BS. People need to wake up to the fact that 90%+ of what you hear on TV is false. Sure does keep the insiders rolling in the Billions thou....

***Maybe the "media" should be called by it's real name:

Propaganda Dept. or
Ministry of Truth... (Orwell would be proud, LOL)

Mission Accomplished:

The invasion of the iraq and the ensuing rise of the oil prices vastly increased the revenues of oil producers within and also outside the US. Particularly Russia has a large windfall of that, and is able to service and repay its debts.
Money is still the best painkiller and so the demands of oil producing regimes are reduced...

In that, the real economic costs of the iraqi war could be actually zero.
The collateral damage of suffering US consumers can be mitigated through government checks and other subsidies...
