"...Democratic senators led by Charles E. Schumer of New York is appealing to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to block a set of contentious no-bid oil contracts that Iraq has decided to award to the Western oil giants Exxon Mobil, Shell, Total and BP."

Chucky, I realize you haven't been paying attention but Iraq is a sovereign nation and can award contracts to whomever they want.

[mgc1122]

Who should get big oil contracts if not big oil companies? Ben & Jerry’s?

Democrats want to force us to give up our SUVS, live without air-conditioning, get laid-off our jobs and ride public transportation.

Democrats are attempting to force lifestyle changes upon a reluctant public.

[Red Badger]

What is the reasoning behind this stupidity? Or is there any?.............

[maine-iac7]

Blackmail?

nah, they wouldn't do that -

However, one does have to wonder why peeelosi and gang are always making trips to places like IRAN and SYRIA - what back door deals might there be?

[Libertarianize the GOP]

It was the Democrats in Congress who voted for the Iraq War because they wanted Iraqi-oil, now they are determined to assert that claim, even if it means overruling the Iraqi’s government. After all it would never do for anyone other than a Democratic politician to make decisions.

[goldstategop]

Of course they do! What's bad for America is good for the Democrats.

dems want to make us suffer at the pump. They hope they can destroy the economy just enough to fool people into voting for change and stick us with obama.

Anyone care to speculate why this witch should be at a news conference on civilian oil contracts? Keep it coming, you DUmmies! We'll be grabbing sound bites of this for our "vote Republican" ads in October!

[TommyDale]

How can the U.S. Senate block business by another country, Iraq?

[Truth29]

More and more the Democrat party does not even hide that it is an enemy of America. And more and more a public school ekudated populace doesn’t even notice and will vote dummy anyway.

[Miss Didi]

They must not have heard Bob Beckel’s talking point...that's all he screams about is taking the Iraqi oil.

[autumnraine]

But I thought it was Republicans that wanted War for Oil.

[kenmcg]

Chuck the Schmuck doesn’t want anything that’s good for America. He’s a Marxist and is determined to thwart any progress that our country makes.

[allmost]

When did Congress take over the sovereign Nation’s right to deal with international companies? They’re putting this out there as a ‘national security’ issue in the theory that it could harm our troops. It seems that more investment in jobs and infrastructure would act as a stabilizing agent.

[MCCRon58]

Does anyone know where I can get a couple of bumper stickers that say “Break the Democrat oil embargo- Drill here, Drill now!” and “Democrat Congress = $5/gal gas - Hows that workin’ out for you, America?”

[dmanLA]

Shout it from the mountain tops. Democrats want high oil prices!!!!

Why? To reduce your freedom of movement! More power, more control!

[Continental Soldier]

How long will it take most Americans to realize that democrats really don’t like people and want them to suffer, want America to suffer? Look around, the big-shot democrats are private-jetting all over the place while doing their best to keep you from even filling up you gas tank, they are making big money on their privileged positions with lobbyists and in real estate, their biggest supporters are just like them - Hollywood hotshots making millions in one of the least important industries in the country. When history has already taught us that democrat plans lead to disaster, why are so many Americans embracing them???
