Reply #58: Thanks! Here's another thought... On Iraq and OPEC. [View All]

[norml]

The first thing that was done on entering Iraq in 2003 was to get it back into OPEC, which it had been out of for some time. Even after this right wing media continued to spread the false hope that oil coming out of Iraq could be a counter to OPEC. Even if there is no instability in Iraq, OPEC still decides how much will be produced. As it is continued instability justifies continued occupation leading to continued instability. The world's second largest reserve of oil stays off the market. The Saudis, with their number one reserve of oil in the world make out like bandits. To know what Bush will do, just ask "What do the Saudis want done?"
