Enron drove up energy prices; Bush drove up oil prices?
F 9/11 lists Ken Lay of Enron as Bush's biggest donor. Enron purposely drove up electricity prices to gouge California, toppling the Governor and installing Arnold, who is rumored to have lowered the total that Enron had to return.

Bush is a friend of the Saudis. The Saudis profit wildly from "who knows why it's so expensive" oil prices. Bush releases the US reserve at a cost of $2.93 for regular in West LA.

Does Bush profit from the sale of the US reserve? Do his campaign contributors?

Enron=Bush=Saudis?

And note that Bush temporarily relieved processors of the clean air regulations.. Keep a watch to see if it's ever reinstated.

1. Anyone? Am I off the mark? Look at the trends. Smash and grab.
"Patriot Act" passes into law, what, six weeks after 9/11 (sure, honest, they wrote it from scratch in that time, yet ignore intelligence already in place which could have changed 9/11).

Halliburton awarded no-bid contracts, stock skyrockets. $72 million bonus, Cheney owns stock, doesn't he.

Neil Bush and the Silverado S/L.

George Bush and his always profiting from failing companies.

When things fall into destruction, the same people seem to always be right there, to their immense profit.

Follow the money. Over $200 billion from the Treasury alone, not counting corporate opportunity in "new" foreign markets.

I'd like to know if Bush and anyone he's friends with, profit from the sale of the US strategic gas/oil reserve, when a deal with the Saudis to "create" such an opportunity could conceivably have occurred.

Just like Enron drove up electricity prices on purpose. I don't see why oil prices "needed" to rise and continue rising since the Iraq invasion.
