2 Questions

1. Iraq is producing oil now, can anyone tell me who makes the profit off of that drilling? Does the oil come to the US? Have we demanded a cut to repay ourselves? Who is refining the oil once it is pumped and where? My anger would cause me to implode if I found this was being pumped out unde the guard of US troops (funded by US taxes, of course) to be sent to China, India or Europe would be criminal.

2. Is Nancy Pelosi taking trains or bicycles on her book tour? Didn't think so.

Being in her audience would be target-rich.

The real reason Nancy doesn’t want to go back to Washington is that she’ll lose her book signing opportunities.

So THAT’S why she was in such a hurry to abandon her “day job” and close down congress.

Do you think the U.S. is entitled to to oil in Iraq? Do you think the U.S. is entitled to tell Iraq who can buy and/or refine its oil?

Yeah, I’m quite sure she’ll be traveling by Prius everywhere she goes. No flying or SUVs for the Saver of the Earth.

Pelousy leaves D.C. without allowing one vote on drilling or energy and she has the impudence to go on a book tour?

Her days as Speaker of the House are numbered.

The Democrats would probably tell Iraq who they can sell/give oil to, but as long as no American companies make a profit. Only non-American companies are allowed to profit.

Regardless of what the democrats may or may not believe about Iraqi oil production, I am questioning whether there are FReepers who believe that the U.S. Government should have any power whatsoever to direct how Iraqi oil is produced, sold, and refined.

Pelosi’s book is rated somewhere around #1000 on Amazon’s Best Seller list. Perhaps a better question to ask is, “Why bother?”

Well, like I’ve said for years, Bill Clinton was the best thing to happen to the GOP since Reagan and the likes of Pelosi & Reid will expose to the whole world what a bunch of incompetent clowns the ‘Rat party really is!

I would have no problem with Iraq providing the fuel that our troops use in Iraq for free.
