You bet that's mission accomplished. Better our oil guys than Saddam keeping it off limits to the West and/or giving it all to the Chinese. Smart this is coming out now. Surely the media would have spun this negative, too, like everything else about Iraq. But they are just too busy...

Watch the dollar strengthen as long term interest rates rise.

Or, perhaps you are spreading lies because you are born and raised in Dubai and are trying to cut into IB's action.

As I have said consistently over the years: Taking Iraq for oil makes practical geopolitical sense for the benefit of Western powers. Saddam was politically and economically isolated. Taking Iraq had zero risk of Russia or China or any formidable military power defending Saddam. And guess...

hundreds-of-thousands of innocents. Yea, right. That's what you want to believe. No peoples of 26 million would stand for such loss. You think most Iraqis are as foolish as you believing in WMD's. I never did. But taking Iraq for geopolitical reasons made sense, and we did it with the...

I trust what the Pentagon says over some foreign scum bag with the confidence that he can brainwash people like YOU if they run a blog or pose as a journalist.

Oil is currently a dollar hedge. Supply/demand points to oil at 70 range. If America is unable to "convince" the Saudis that they should overproduce to kill the oil bull, and if America is unable to "convince" the Iraqi government to overproduce thus killing the oil bull, oil will continue...

By the way. What is "Big Oil" anyway? Shouldn't Big Oil be that which controls the oil reserves, rather than those who ask to suck it out and refine it? The Democrats know Big Oil is a coalitian of hostile nations and cultures sitting on top of vast oil reserves. They also know that Exxon...

They know that if they begin to drill, they will get sued by some environmental group. It's not about whether they have the legal right (assuming they have any right), it's about how they will be challenged by having that legal right. Why bother? It's more cost effective to do nothing.

It's called Obamism: the new religious faith among the spiritually disenfranchised (most of whom vote Democrat and were raised to despise Christianity.) Wearing T-shirts, setting up Obama shrines, or having tatoos depicting Obama looking up at the light of Truth and Enlightenment. They...

One thing is absolutely for certain: there will be more threads predicting Israel bombing Iran before the year's out. Another prediction: Israel will not bomb Iran. Oh, and another: America will not bomb Iran.

So how do you think they should "take stock of reality"? Think like Europeans: Just take it in the ass? Like when the Russians turned off the EU's natural gas supply? Just take it in the ass?

such a bunch of hooey

We have to wait until the spotlight turns from Obama vs. Hillary, to Obama vs. McCain, once Obama becomes the official nominee. If McCain begins to kick Obama's butt, the Dems will have no choice, as a means to avoid defection of McCain Democrats who would otherwise vote for the old bag.

This only means the Saudi's no longer need to answer to U.S. desires. There are other big oil customers out there today. So OPEC will make oil scarce until the U.S. can make policy that influences the supply side (Iraq, domestic drilling, non-opec producers, etc.) which will force OPEC to...

High gas prices are unacceptable. Period. No no no. America's economy is based on cheap energy and before we can adapt to using less, driving less, conserving more, and becoming pretentious Europeans, our economy will be destroyed and boatloads of American wealth will be lost to the wrong...

Nevermind the economy, America's competative edge, and new taxes. Obama is beyond all that. You see, Obama embodies a world full of hope and peace. He is of many colors with a first and last name of African heritage, with an Arab middle name to celebrate Arabic/Islamic subjugation of all...

I'll vote for a regime change proposed by any Western nation any day, over regime change proposed by any Muslim country. Iran has a long term agenda, none of which is good for America. Obama can talk with Ahmadinejad and Ahmadinejad will kiss his ass. Obama will come back saying that Iran...

What is the "oil industry" by the way, which you say has an iron grip over politics and media? Exxon? Or, the Islamists and Communists who sit on top of 80% of the world's oil reserves? Let's hope we are in Iraq to help Exxon, because quite frankly, American oil companies have lost a lot of...

The only objective source of data out there is coming from the US military. Why? Because no one believes them. Everyone believes in the journalists, and what some so-called Iraqi with a press sticker on his tit says on camera, or some dumb ass babbling in his blog. Who has the REAL power to...
