Amen. Again, here is the hole (one of many) in the liberal argument: No blood for oil, but we don't want to ruin pristine ANWAR... you can't have it both ways. All whine, no solutions.

Perhaps the title should read "Rich, multi-national oil companies conspire to drive price of oil into the ground."

... and provide enough foreign source energy so that Cape Cod doesn't need to build a windmill farm and all the Greenies will live happily ever after.

Even the pro-Iraq former UN Inspector Scott Ritter has dismissed the oil theory...

Ritter dismissed oil as a motivating factor behind our coming war with Iraq. He made a good defense of this claim. Yes, Iraq has the second-largest oil reserves on earth, a juicy target for the petroleum-loving Bush administration. But the U.S. already buys some 68% of all the oil produced in Iraq. "The Navy ships in the Gulf who work to interdict the smuggling of Iraqi oil," said Ritter, "are fueled by Iraqi oil." Iraq's Oil Minister has stated on camera that if the sanctions are lifted, Iraq will do whatever it takes to see that America's oil needs are fulfilled. "You can't get a better deal than that," claimed Ritter.

We should all be so lucky to have to suffer through such small problems in life.
