Jveritas, you make very little rational sense.

The moment a bomb drops on Iran the futures market will go haywire and the barrel cost will at least double. And why should OPEC cut production because the Emir of Dubai's feelings were hurt ? That is not how grownups think.

If prices remain high during the winter (and they will) people will be found dead in frozen houses and Bush will be blamed. There is a kind of house fire common in poor neighborhoods in harsh winters. That is because everyone sleeps in one room around the space heater. Someone's blanket gets caught in the wiring, it catches fire while everyone is sleeping... Expect that to get lots of airplay. If it so happens that we have a harsh winter, God help the GOP.

Well, winter's winding up and nobody is bombing Iran in the next few weeks, so I don't see anything happening on that front.

[jveritas]

Be assure 100% that if the DPW deal will not go OPEC will cut production because Saudi Arabia the most influential member will go with UAE on this, and already Venzuela and Iran are pushing for a cut.

This has NOT been a brutal winter, the poor and the indigent elderly GET CHEAP OR FREE FUEL. and nobody is being found frozen to death in their homes!

What universe/dimensional plane do you live in?

Spring is three weeks away. I think you'll have to wait until next year for the doom and gloom.
