If America is over in Iraq for the oil, why are gas prices at an all time high.?

The oil consipiracy holds about as much water as the 9/11 consipiracy.

Democrats will often cling to any excuse they "hear" about for being against the Bush administration. It's a shame some are even rooting for their own country to lose in Iraq.

I think the problem is us. We don't want to drive smaller, more fuel efficient cars. We want Lincoln Navigators and Hummers, you know vehicles that get 8 miles to the gallon.

While the government is working on alternative fuel sources, I think that a premium tax should be put on these gas guzzlers. I drive my 4 cylinder mini-van that can barely get out of it's own way, but on the road I get 25-27 miles to the gallon.

We need to figure out a better way to heat our houses. We may not be able to enjoy our boats and snowmobiles like we used to (whoops I have never had these things).

We have many governments in the world that are run by tyrants. Castro nearly collapsed our economy in Cuba. Yet we walked away. South Africa has had serious problems for decades. Yet we did nothing. Korea is another hotbed of trouble. Yet we do nothing.

Iraq was under control and being carefully monitored since Bushes father invaded it.

We are not in Iraq for the oil. To me it is just another hopeless war similar to that fought in Vietnam.

Perhaps he was just trying to fulfill his fathers legacy, finishing what he had started.

I believe he miss used the power granted him by congress for his war on terrorism. Now that war is taking a back seat to the one in Iraq.. How sad. It is getting harder to say "I'm proud to be an American"

The Iraqi authorities and shortly the oil agencies bidding to drill it. I see no situation with that. quickly Iraq (a pair of years) will be generating better oil and declaring grant, and that is a competent element.

We aren't in Iraq for oil, (The UN was cough cough the oil for food scandal) We are in Iraq to take down a ruthless dictator and re-build the country

If he was there for oil, gas would be half the price (or less) than it is at today. We have had plenty of time to stabalize the oil reserves in Iraq and take it as our own, why haven't we done it?

we just can`t go in there and just "bum rush" them and steal their oil,we have to make it look like we care about them so the rest of the world won`t give us alot of static..with a few kickbacks like 200 million for me 25 million for you and we will stretch this out to close to the end of my term and then we will have our pseudo government in place and be the hero and bring the troops home and then we can all count our money.Then we can work on the Ethanol project and see how much we can squeeze out of the working class shmucks that drive around in a fog.

Exxon Mobil has a retired CEO that makes over$100.00 per hour 24/7 for the rest of his life and another in a year or so.

Because he's lining his pockets and
