Sandy,

It very well could and can change the price of gas. The direction is another matter however and only if you assume the govt. has had a lock on prices in a free market economy in the past few years.

Of course it must be the feeelthy repubs fault that the price of oil in the ME is over $60.00 a barrel............ :huh  :noid

I don't believe for a second that the U.S. government can control the price of gasoline.

Guess neither of you has heard of alternative fuels, put alittle government money into those projects and see where oil prices go....

I find it VERY funny that just before the election ALL of a sudden we have a glut of oil and the price drops......here come all the know it all pundits to explain how that happened.....well guess what the average american didn't buy it.

You guys are like the rest of the so called "smart people" you just don't get it and never will.....the average american judges politics by his OWN wallet and could care less about explanations or agenda's.....only his perception counts not anything else.

I worked for Gulf Oil years ago and if you think the big oil companies don't worry about the government you are just wrong.  In fact oil companies are colusive and always have been, now they have developed a new wrinkle where they devide all the processes into seprate companies and add a profit at every level (of course all the companies actully belong to one Big company).

I will be interested to see where this goes in congress with the new changes.

Saddam didn't tolerate terrorists? Do you know who Abu Nidal was? How about Abu Abbas? How about Ramzi Yousef?



they were all kicked out of Iraq by Saddam because they were trying to continue their activities while in Iraq.

Whats the latest death toll for US troops?  Whose killing them?  Call them terrorists if it makes you feel better, but the US govt called them freedom fighters when they were battling for afghanistan in the 80s and again in chechnya in the 90's.  How is this different?

Saddam had abu nidal murdered, if i am not mistaken.  I'll get back to you about the others.  Now, you tell me about Osama Bin Laden, al queada and Weapons of Mass destruction in Iraq before the war.

Wrong. But then you knew that. Although eventually Saddam did have Abu Nidal killed, not long before the invasion.

So you know for a fact that the same people who were in Afghanistan and Chechnya are now in Iraq? And you know this how? I'm sure the intelligence community who would be delighted to pay you for your services. So, if you know exactly who it is planting the IED's and equipping the snipers, by all means step up to the plate and make millions.

Ummm, you dont even know the difference between a terrorist organization and a rebel army, do you?  good grief.  Terorist dont attackoccupying armys, they hijack airplanes and cruise liners and make political statements via terror.  O forget it.

yes because we all know that Al Queada is the ONLY terrorist group we need to look after.

EDIT:

and help me out here whithawk cause i'm confused....

according to your logic, they don't have to be Iraqi but if they attack Americans they are freedom fighters.

But, If they attack fellow Iraqis because they are shi'ites and blow up a market full of civilians and/or blow up lets say the golden mosque (you know because they are trying to insite....terror)......does that make them terrorists?

If so do they lose their terrorist label when they go back to fighting Americans and become freedom fighters again or does the whole terrorist thing kinda stick to them?  

Can they be terrorists one day and freedom fighters the next or does it not flip flop like that?

If they are a terrorist who fights for freedom by killing there own civilians does it make them "super terror freedom fighters"?
