It should have read-"I George W Bush so solomly swear to use the 9/11
terrorist attacks as an excuse to invade Iraq so that my rich American
friends and I can control all the middle east oil reserves"

This is just my opinion however.



What really peeves me is that ..If it *were* all about the oil, why
are gas prices outrageous??

"Outrageous" is relative. US prices are still dirt cheap compared to what
Europeans pay.

That is because European governments impose outrageous taxes on fuel.

correct but as long as gas-guzzling Hummer and SUV driving Americans
can fill up their tanks, tank on their cell phones and eat their
Micky D's super-sized fries, they are more than happy in supporting the
very same countries we/Americans bitch about. The ads where Bush said
Kerry was for raising the taxes on gas were great. I personally think
they should add a 50 cent tax per gallon of gasoline. Then the moms
driving their Ford Expeditions will think about getting a reasonable
and responsible sized vehicle.

No, they won't. The prevailing attitude there was summed up by the lady interviewed
by National Geographic magazine a few months ago. She said she didn't mind the gas
mileage (or lack therof) her Hummer gets. She's comfortable knowing that "no matter
what I hit, I win."

Hear hear.

At Rotterdam fuel costs $2.18 per LITER that's $8.5/USGal.

Have a look at: (NB. Prices are per LITER on this list)

If it *were* all about oil, we would have invaded Argentina.

If it *were* all about the oil, why didn't we just take over and occupy
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait back in '91?
