What do you think about the theory that Bush needs higher gasoline prices to get the senate (lower case intentional) to go along with opening up American territory for oil drilling?
Smart like a fox? ...or just wishful thinking?
That would only be smart like a fox if the prices were to then drop after ANWR was opened up. We'll see. The war and the U.S. economy needs the fuel. Any agreements made in Crawford look like they are being dumped by the also smart like a fox Russians.
(I had been thinking that Bush might have made the unilateral pledge on N-weapons at the time of the Putin visit knowing full well he could renege on that when the Russians pull their stunts on oil.)
So far a tough game of poker.
