$88/barrel oil: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

[Bluebear]

[UndertheOcean]

1. Above $200/barrel will come before this decade ends

count on it.

[Horse with no Name]

2. Yep. After this crew

It is a tossup if we will end up with water wars or oil wars...oops, we already have one of those.

[Bluebear]

3. Good thing people voted for Bush to "have a beer with him". Saps. nt

[KansDem]

5. And don't forget Cokie Roberts's reports on NPR about the "charm offensive."

How Bush is, oooh, so charming!

And he gives nicknames, too!

[AntiFascist]

12. And Pelosi thinks his Nazi-profitting family is so patriotic n/t

[RB TexLa]

4. I'm not going to cry depositing my royalty checks

In the late 90's when the price dipped below the price in the 50s adjusted for inflation no one cared.

[NickB79]

7. No one cared because cheap oil doesn't cause social upheaval and the death of millions

Expensive oil does. People will certainly be crying as global oil production begins to fall off the plateau and scramble to afford the basic necessities of life.

[aquart]

8. No, you'll wait till the dollar's worth a nickel.

The price of that oil is going to be factored into every damn thing you buy, every mouthful you eat.

Have fun bitching about those caviar prices.

[RB TexLa]

9. I have very little invested in North American stocks

or USD based securities.

[Dukkha]

6. Enjoy your Hummers

and again, sorry about your penises.

[Bluebear]

10. 'and again, sorry about your penises.'

:spray:

[Enrique]

11. i wonder, does any sector of the economy benefit from high oil prices?

I wonder, what sector would that be...

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Two words: PEAK OIL

its not only bout those two... but also peak oil

Oh and that little fracas in the ME that these two helped start

But Peak Oil has quite the role in this

[Bluebear]

15. Those three.

Remember Ms. Chevron who had an oil tanker named after her, until they hurriedly renamed that when she became NSA.

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Oh I remmeber, and the oil has been flowing from the moment

the terminal was secured

But it is also about Peak Oil

[catmandu57]

14. It's far from mission accomplished

Mission underway perhaps. We're going to be paying for theses fools for a long long time.

16. Yet another victory in the BushCo war on the Middle Class.
