Higher oil and natural-gas prices boosted profit from the production unit by 27 percent to $2.84 billion, and rising fuel sales led to a 50 percent jump in refining profit.

Won't success in Iraq bring oil prices down?

Won't success in Iraq bring oil prices down?

I thought we have "success" in Iraq...wasn't that what the aircraft carrier landing/flight suit was all about?

Mission Accomplished...

Further, we are nowhere close to seeing substantial quanities of oil exported from Iraq, I don't care how many "guards" we hire to patrol the pipelines.

Now that suicide bombers are being deployed into the region, no amount of patrol can protect the 100's of miles of pipe.

We need cheap oil and we need it now if the US is to see a sizable boost in its economy by election 2004.
