gas. That Iran will profit from it and America will fall into a Depression
its called Economic Warfare and Bush has made us extremely vulnerable to it...
But alas the Saudis will profit from it too...

Why do I get the feeling that in the board rooms at Chevron, Exxon, Shell and the rest, champagne bottles are being cracked open and there are smiles all around. War in the ME is almost as good as a hurricane when you're looking for ready made excuses to gouge your customers. Those retirement mansions on the slopes of Aspen don't pay for themselves, you know.

Because it probably hasn't been $20 for at least 40 years or more.

16. Thanks. I did not know the exact numbers. |
|
Makes sense. I was paying around $1.39 when Bush took office and I thought it had gotten kind of high then. :(

13. No he is lamenting about 200/barrell gas and a depression |
|
Obviously Hezbohlah is the evil ones who are bringing gas prices so high
Wonder how much profits Exxon will make and George's polls going up

14. At that price a lot of non-OPEC, non-Iranian... |
|
...non-Arab, non-oil options become eminently feasable.
Hezbollah wants $200/barrel oil?
Not bloody likely

17. no offense but I believe that is BS |
|
we are talking about a world market, and as much as we like to think of us as the only one in the world there are other countries
who buy oil and help determine the price
Of course if they did push oil up to that high, they would price themselves out of business within 10 years. In that time or less, alternative fuels would then take over. In fact it would be interesting because the mideast would not have the importance it has now. Yes, there would be initial pain in the first several years, but it would also accelerate our independence over oil
