O'Reilly claims oil prices will double if US pulls out of Iraq

[jerry611]

O'Reilly tonight said that if the US pulls out of Iraq, that Iran will take over the region, hold us in nuclear blackmail, and oil prices will double.

He also said that Lamont and his supporters are pacifists that don't understand a thing about national defense.

1. Well, They've Doubled Since We've Entered Iraq, So What's The Big Whoop?

[MadMaddie]

2. Okay I will say it..

Fuck O'Leilly!! with his ever decreasing ratings...

There were a lot of military people supporting Lamont...who fought in wars.....and they know that a forever war is not the answer.

3. Yo big head

4. Extortion? Shame on You Bill, You Corporate Hack (nt)

5. boy, they're really pulling out all the stops today. they are scared

shitless! now dems (per lamont victory) will pull out of iraq, cause another 911 and then cause gas prices to triple????????

what can I say that you all arent' already thinking?:grr:

[jerry611]

8. Have you seen some of the stuff on free republic?

Someone over there said today that if Democrats are in power, and America is attacked again like 9/11, and the people demand retaliation, that the Democrats will stand and do nothing in retaliation. And they say that will be the end of the Democratic party for good.

Another said that if there is another terror attack where one of his family members is killed that he will hold all Democrats personally responsible.

10. Oh geez

When the towers fell the freepers said the democratic party fell along with them. They are always saying this will be the end of the party or that will be the end of the party. It's just wishful thinking on their part.

6. Pulling out of Iraq will cause herpes

And the sooner the liberal media get the picture, the better. O'Reilly is the antibiotic ointment on the seeping wound that is truth.

Or something. :silly:

7. Actually, oil prices have about qudarupled since ....

Bush took office...a few weeks before he took office, oil was going for about $18/bbl.
If memory serves me correctly the day he took office it was around $23/bbl.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if it doubled if we left IRAQ, it will probably double regardless of if we leave or not. We hhave no control over the security of it now nor would we if we left....

[Roon]

13. If we don't control that oil and soon

we are in a heap of trouble. I guarantee it.

[B Calm]

16. We have been controlling it. Have been since the start of the war.

The mission in Iraq was to stop the flow of cheap oil so the friends of Bush (Saudi's) can up the price.

[bridgit]

9. he said they would DROP in half by going IN, what a fucking idiot...

he has no concept of what he really needs to say next :silly:

[Roon]

11. Here is how the freepers justify the 3.00+ gas

Gore wanted 5.00 a gallon gas, so if Gore was in office, we would have 5.00+ gallon gas. lol

[bridgit]

12. i'm saying those freepers need to put their brains (assuming of course)...

into neutral and coast for a while cause i can hear the grinding gears & smell the burnt rubber from here x( :rofl:

[Geek_Girl]

14. If that was true

the oil companies would of had us out of Iraq a long time ago.

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. Imagine if he pulled his head out of his ass. That would be something.

[Strelnikov_]

17. So We Are There For The Oil!!!!

What the hell, we better 'stay the course' then. Gotta keep them SUV go-juice prices low.


What we are seeing is the test marketing of the next rationale to be rolled out for continuing the occupation. WMD^TM, Fightin Em Over There^TM and Fledging Democracy^TM are quickly losing their luster.

Time to roll out the threat to the Merican Easy-Motoring-Fast-Food-Way-O-Life.

I've been expecting this.
