Conflict in the Middle East has added $5 per barrel to oil prices

Been watching oil prices. Can't say I've seen this.

What I posted elswhere RE: ANWR Drilling:

The Middle East is going to deteriorate further, oil prices are going to skyrocket. It will effect our ability to make war. It is no longer a choice (as to ANWR drilling) as far as I am concerned. It is a strategic necessity. The entire arctic is there for the caribou and bears. Nobody seems to realize how large this place really is, and how small a large development would look in comparison.
