Oil!.. (lest we forget)

Edited on Sun Sep-16-07 09:36 AM by SoCalDem

This chart lists barrel prices through 2005... Just so we don't forget what this is all about...

the dots:

'68 gasoline cost 0.34 gallon( except for gas-wars when it was as low as 0.19 a gallon)
'73 gasoline cost 0.40 (and there was rationing )
'81 gasoline cost 1.32 (as reagan ascended the throne)
'93 gasoline cost 1.16 (GHWB's cuts didn't get him re-elected)
'01 gasoline cost 1.46 ( Opec helped Bushie by raising prices)

Edited to add that there WERE hurricanes back then..

1. ARMED MADHOUSE

Greg Palast has the best explanation of the the reason for attacking Iraq I have ever read. Yes, it's about the oil. Not to put their hands on the oil and pass it on to us - but to control the flow. If you control the supply, you can control the price.

These people are sick evil bastards. I thought I was angry about the war and then I read ARMED MADHOUSE. Now I am way beyond angry.
