Who's crying now OPEC?

Keep up the great work Americans. Greed will always lose. Oil below 100 dollars a barrel today. It needs to be back to 30. They made more then the could spend at 30 dollars a barrel.

Update:

We do need to drill but in Alaska that way they won't screw us if a hurrican comes thru. Opec is nothing but greed Pure Greed. Their day will come

    Why do you think OPEC had anything to do with oil prices going up? The OPEC nations have control over the supply of oil During this run up in oil prices, OPEC nations did not reduce the supply of oil. When American's conserve more oil and industry investigations of oil trading practices are taking place the prices started to fall.

    Makes you really wonder why the President and now McCain were stating that there was a oil shortage and we need to drill offshore. Hmmm.

    Uhhhh, I wouldn't say that too quickly. All OPEC has to do is turn off the spigot. $200 a barrel overnight.
