1. yes. Oil fell immediately upon the news of the NIE. |
|
Prior to the release, Big Oil had been factoring in an "anticipated bombing cost" to the oil price.

3. Sure - we have been paying a war premimum for months |
|
And continue to pay an additional (estimate's I've seen) $30 per barrel just because of our presense in Iraq and the possibility of that growing.
Price of oil went down $10, price of gas went down $0.02.

5. My contention has been that the whole Iraq-Iran thing was to |
|
make oil a seeming scarce commodity. Outing Valerie Plame was a part of the whole twisted mess because she was one person who could blow the whistle legitimately. I believe that increased tensions with Russia are a part of this also. Notice that Bushco could care less about any other industries but oil & pharma?
