for the sake of the price of gas should BUSH step in to the conflict in the middle east?

Question

as oil prices soar ,should our pres step in to resolve the crisis in the middle east,

Answer 1

he will he is a oil man, remember.

Answer 2

No! Stay away. He's there now and every time he rattles the sabre, up goes the price of a barrel of oil.. That's because both producing countries and the oil companies ( read G.W.B.) are waiting for any excuse to line their pockets more and more.

In fact, just yesterday, Saudi Arabia has said that it will support the price at $50.00 a barrel if it starts to go down. That's more that twice the $23.00 they were supporting before the Iraqi debacle. They are all getting used to the coin.

If Bush interferes substantially in the Middle East his family will become much wealthier. What does a person do with so much ,money they cannot possibly spend. Pull a Buffet-Gates deal? I doubt that.

Answer 3

If the US steps in so will a lot more countries in the middle east. This will further destabilize the supply of oil and drive the price up even further.

Meanwhile King George is sitting in his office watching the money roll in because the oil production that he owns is all domestic based and will not be disrupted. That price per barrel is the same for foreign or domestic.

Answer 4

The reason the oil prices are so high is not because of Iraq, The President coming from an oil family, Clinton getting a ********, North Korea playing games or Israel kicking ***. We plain and simply have high oil prices because there is larger demand. China and India have experienced unprecedented growth (Especially China) and their demand for oil is getting up close to ours. This is about China. You have more power to slow down China's growth with you buying power. Look for the "Made in China" label and set it back on the shelf.

Answer 5

Obama says that each thing is going large and the authorities is holding us secure and the economic equipment is going nicely as envisioned; purely cruising alongside like a nicely oiled gadget Hmmm! There looks some thing incorrect with this actuality????????????????? rather that the stimulus equipment of 787 billion money, if handed in a hurry, the unemployment fee will in no way, in no way, EVER, go over 8%. very last I heard, the unemployment fee replaced into over 10% and that the speed of those who've given up searching for the artwork replaced into hovering round 17%. THEN his Cap and tax bill crashed and burned THEN he lost elections in Virginia and New Jersey after distinct own appearances to the cheering of adoring throngs shouting Messiah, Messiah, Messiah. THEN Ted Kennedy's seat grew to grow to be into the folk'S SEAT on that terrible, terrible moist, snowy, Wednesday. Oh, the horror of all of it. What do you imagine?

Answer 6

The US has plenty of oil in reserve. We are also working on electrical cars.
The Middle East war is not about gas and oil, much to your confusion. The War is about terrorism and stopping bombings in the western world by extremist islamics. Hello?
Love, a smart aleck Yank.

Answer 7

For the sake of oil prices. No.

For the sake of not allowing countries like Iran or North Korea to become a nuclear power. Yes.

Answer 8

For those that don't think oil is worth fighting for please remember what drives our economy. There are bigger issues here then oil though. Iran is pulling the strings on both Hezbollah and Hamas to divert attention from their nuclear intention. This is an opportunity for Israel and the US to once and for all take out the largest terrorists regimes on the planet. Peace through force.

Answer 9

We should always help our allies. It's not about oil, but all about peace. Terrorist are just that, terrorist no matter where they are. Good Vs Evil. We don't hold the same standards toward the terrorist, as we do to "decent", democratic societies.. We expect bad behavior from the terrorist, but if the "decent" society tries to fight back, then they get world condemnation. What ever happened to an eye for an eye?

Answer 10

Hell no...We're already in one war in the middle east over oil (and terrorism )...War is not the answer....Besides Israel and the Palestinians have nothing to do with oil, other than the fact their in very close proximaty to the oil producing nations.

Answer 11

That's not what drives the price of gas.
If we would quit funding Israel, the crisis in the middle east would be resolved as soon as they started murdering Arabs.
