<<<<Iraq Says It Accepts New U.N. Oil-For-Food Deal

.......saddam has no choice--he needs the cash and knows he will get his ass kicked in another war.

.......OPEC is a loose coaltion but they have kept the price of oil pretty stable--i would be surprised if it drops to $15 like so many bears predict--although anything is possible with deflation.

.......i predict that in 6 months japan will start to pull out of recession
--B of J will print lots of mony, stabilize the weaker banks and let more businesses close--creating more deregulation. the yen will drop acting like a tax cut for business and easy credit will make it more likely that consumers will spend--this will start japan on the road out of recession.

.....with u.s., canada, mexico, and europe in modest growth mode, japan getting ready for the end of recession--the demand for oil will not drop off significantly--only ASEAN countries are in the dumpster.

......this is not the end of the world for drillers when 2/3 of the world economy is firing on all cylinders.
