Bush and Rove always have had a plan to reduce oil prices before the election.
"Bush and Rove always have had a plan to reduce oil prices before the election."
Did you forget the </sarcasm> tag? Their plan hasn't worked very well, has it?
Seems like they would have kicked it in a few weeks ago for maximum impact.
This is Soros and other hedge funds who probably had a dal with Kerry. I will fund you but I want to see THE REAL internal polls so he doesn't get his arse burned trying to hold his oil positions.
If Bush had a "plan" to drive oil prices down before the election it would have happened 3 months ago.
Gasoline went from $1.70 to $2.03 because Hurricane Ivan wrecked all of the undersea piping in the Gulf. The pipes that carry oil from wells to refineries in LA and TX. 25% of production is out for probably another 3 months. The storm caused MAJOR underwater mud slides wrecking pipes.
Remember the Gulf is loaded with silt from the Mississippi - this what created the oil. 40 feet thick of mud and silt was sloshing around at 50 feet per second on the Gulf floor moving pipes around like fiddlesticks.
This 25% in production in the Gulf is still out.
A drop in prices means the hedge funds know something. My guess is Soros and his hedge fund pals are getting out of oil because they know the internals and Kerry is toast.
NOTE: Soros was convicted on insider trading in Paris 2 years ago. He made a lot of his money that way. It helps to be a successful currency speculator when you have "friends" in finance ministries.
Oh really? So then why didn't they use it?
