Lil' Kim - I'm wondering the same thing. Gas prices usually spike.
2007-10-31 07:40:27 · update #1
It's beginning to look like that was their plan. See how much they could drive up the price of oil.
***Gas prices have not jumped because domestic demand is down from the peak driving season which is summer. If oil stays this high when demand for gas increases again, look for gas prices to soar to record highs of around $3 to $4/gallon. It's simply a matter of timing but time is going to run out and soon. Fuel oil prices are already soaring.

Do you think that Bush controls the world wide demand and price of oil? The only stance I have seen Bush take on oil was to drill for oil in Alaska which was denied by the Dems. So I would say if anybodies policy is to blame, it would be the Dems. Oh I am sorry if you don't understand what I mean here. When supply increases price comes down. That might be a little too complicated.

It's working out GREAT! Bush's buddies in the oil industry are making unprecedented profits. As a 'war president' Bush is allowed to tap phones and snoop into peoples' lives with no warrant or anything, to 'disappear' people.off the street without probable cause or any reason beyond his say-so, and to keep them in prison with no habeas corpus or constitutional protections He's able to shovel billions in taxpayers' money to well-connected corporations and big campaign donors with no accountability whatsoever. And anyone who disagrees or criticizes him, he can call them traitors.
Do you think a crappy president like Bush would have had a -prayer- of a getting a second term if not for the war? It's worked out for him very well!

It makes the mind boggle, doesn't it!
And lucky us, we have dollars currently worth 94 cents to pay for the imported oil. That whole borrowing trillions to pay for tax cuts to the rich and wars is a real bonanza, too, huh!
Edit - Danzahn (sorry if I got the spelling wrong on your handle...I can't see it from here. bro)
Iraq shares a border with Turkey. A huge portion of oil flows through Turkey. Turkey is massing troop at the edge of Iraq because of Kurdish rebels who have free reign there. Iraq oil was to go on the market to pay for the rebuilding but production isn't restored to pre-war levels. Supply is lower, demand continues to rise, cost goes up. THOSE are two of the connections.

As you pointed out--Bush's middle east policy is working jsut great. It all depends on who gets the benefits!

How does oil trading at $94 a barrel have anything to do with Bush's middle ease policy? Oil is a commodity. Did you ever take an economics class? Do you know what globalization is? How bout China?

Yes. According to Bush it's going great. Everything is going great. So whatever their policy is, it is obviously not the one we know of, but it's good to know it's going great! It could be the extermination of 10 million people in the long run and we're right on schedule!

It's working beautifully.
The stated goal was to guarantee supply. That's happening.
The secret goal was to wean us off of mid-east oil. Nothing does that better then high prices.

Great for the Bush family. Like his dad, US big oil will pay him six figures for every speech he makes for the rest of his wicked life.
