Yes one thing does not effect the Oil prices. Nevertheless, don't tell me that speculators have no influence over the market. Do you remember what happened to our economy in 1870 or how about 1929? Guess what caused it?
“What exactly do you think we should do about this?”
Well we spent close to half a Trillion dollars in Iraq. While our troops pay more for gas to fill up our Jeeps and Tanks, etc... The Iraq people enjoy a low price. How about we tell Iraq, since we are spending so freaking much fixing up that $hit hole, they can pay us back with some of their Oil. I am not saying all of it, but maybe 10% for now, and of course that can always be adjusted. There are a lot of solutions. The problem is the Republican party along with the Democrats are completely corrupt. This is why our country is going from a Super Power to a second world nation.
/poking a stick through the bars
Aid to "the werkin' man?" No thanks. How about "conservatives are against aid to African dictators and want the fatsos in THIS country to get off their asses and stop whining."
You hate "free trade?" There is a candidate for you, and his name is Obama.
FYI: My apologies. I now see that this was written by the populist asshat friend of Chuck Schumer, Michael Weiner.
Hell why were add it why don't we just outsource our entire Military to the Chinese. They will work for a bag of rice a day which which will be a lot cheaper than the current troops that require pay and benefits. LOL!
You need to quit drinking the Free Trade Kool-Aid and realize there is no such think. Its only true free trade if everyone is playing by the same rules. Which it will never be. The difference between you and me is that I am loyal to the USA. You are only loyal to the dollar. There are globalist like you that would sell out their own mothers if it gives them an extra dollar.
I wonder how Weiner feels now that his friend Chuck Schumer is bought and paid for by Sheik Makhtoum.
No I am glad we went in, but don’t you think Iraq should pay a little bit for us liberating them? If not, then I guess you believe that the US tax payer should just suck it up.
Energy is a National Security issue. We could have Iraq pay for their liberation with Oil. Yes have them pay us in barrels of Oil for the war of liberation over there.

Of course, you would take Schumer's bait, to say nothing of an IQ of 70 RINO like Pete King.
There are anti-semetic country. This is no big secret. So you actually believe they let Israelis in their country. What are you a kid?
Oh I do not think you would recognize know a conservative if they bitch slapped you and bulldozed you.
Instead of bashing Dubai, why not praise it for its relative openness and prosperity, and as a beacon for capitalism in the Muslim world? I guess you wish that all muslims cities be like Riyadh so that it confirms your prejudices.
No. Conservatives want US to produce our own damn oil!
LOL! Best chuckle I’ve had today (been a tough day).
I refuse to praise a country that has an open antisemitic policy. That is like praising the Chinese. Yeah their capitalist to. Have you seen the way they treat their citizens? Oh but that is OK since they are capitalist...
btt
Okay. But that's not what you said.
You said we should "compell" them to produce oil for us and "force" them to give it to us.
That's not the way conservatives do business.
He says Bush is the worst CIC in history.
The Iraq war the worst blunder in history.
Bush invaded Iraq to benefit Haliburton and his oil buddies.
He trashed General Petreous and declared the Surge dead on arrival.
He bashes Limbaugh, Hannity and Ann Coulter.
All classic liberal talking points out of the moonbat play book
