Bush and Cheney will make millions as soon as they leave office. They have oil shares in a blind trust. The higher oil is a barrel the more money they will make. Why do you think the US is saber rattling with Venezuela and Iraq? To drive oil prices higher. We control the #4 largest oil reserve in the world aka Iraq. Notice they aren't putting any oil on the market? To drive up the price of oil. It's a conspiracy against the American people. If not, it's sure a conflict of interest. Why don't someone ask Bush or Cheney about it? Because they are scared, that's why. They know that Bush and Cheney's buddies will make life miserable for anyone who dares call them on it. Congress won't do anything. The oil companies get their benefits straight from the oval office. Why doesn't Bush release oil from the strategic reserve? Because it might hurt his little nest egg. And if he denies it I'm calling him a LIAR!! I'll say it straight to his face. He's making MILLIONS on the blood of American Servicemen. Why do you think Bush wants to stay in Iraq? To keep up the price of oil.
Back in the 80's when gas was under a $1 a gallon lots of the Republicans high dollar donors took a bath with the price of oil being low. Right now they're are soaking the American public to the tune of $3.25 a gallon. Since Bush came into office the price of gas has gone up $2 a gallon. And this summer they are predicting $4 a gallon.
If Iraq was producing at pre-war levels they artificially inflated oil market bubble would burst and gas would come down. If you could control the 4th largest oil reserve, you would basically shut off the taps and watcxh the market race upward. And if you have stock in an oil company you would make out like a bandit. Guess who owns oil stock? Bush and Cheney.
