		<description>You are sick and have no regard for fact. Oil is sold on a world market and you have to invest to get the oil out of the ground and then it is sold on the open market. What do you all learn at those public schools. Clueless! Ignorant! You have the ability to learn and you attack America. Fools all of you!!</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Tracy5 Says:

“The no-bid contracts are unusual for the industry, and the offers prevailed over others by more than 40 companies, including companies in Russia, China and India […]”

If those other counties didn’t offer any support to oust Saddam then you are damn right they shouldn’t be allowed to bid on developing Iraq’s oil fields.&lt;/em&gt;

You tell &#039;em Tracist.  The US invaded Iraq and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent women and children to get that oil with no help from those countries.  Iraq&#039;s oil field belong to US oil companies now.  If Russia, China, and India  want oil, they can do their own invading and murdering in some other third world country.</description>

		<description>#109 shoeless Says: Are you, like your fellow bloodthirsty neocon, Tracy, also an advocate for the slaughter of innocent women and children in the quest to steal the natural resources of their countries?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.IAMZIM, I have never killed a man, but I have served my country! You know the USA the good guys!

You are the question asking, name caller; what does that say for you? You assume too much and seem to know less.

I am an American! The R and D&#039;s are both sucking you off! They thieve and steal because............that is where the money is: my money , even some of yours as you earn more you pay more so get ready to earn.

Natural resources are for sale to the oil market at the futures price. No one steals anything. Read your history and you will see it once was worthless, they were looking for water.

This statement shows the ignorance of a child or a disingenuous human! The USA attacked Iraq after 17 UN sanctions and an approval of the USA House of Representatives and the Senate, The Iraqi War Resolution of 2002.
It is available on the congressional record. You know highlight and paste into a search engine.
Have a swell evening.</description>

Sadly true shoeless. But, their responses provide data, if not ammo. And some of their fantasies are entertaining in a sick way.</description>

		<description>First &quot;Carter did it&quot; of the day. 

Here&#039;s the deal. If you want to blame Carter then, logically, you must blame Reagan and both Bush&#039;s for failing to &quot;fix the failures of Jimmy&quot;. They held the White House 20 of the last 28 years. Really want to go down that road Skippy?

BTW. I have a new keyboard that&#039;s giving me fits. Please excuse the sloppy typing.</description>

		<description>&quot;Real replies&quot; to what, omnipotty. All I&#039;ve seen from you is blustering. Been staring in a mirror while trying to think up devastating insults?

I get the vague impression you like the U.S. military to wreck stuff. But, that&#039;s about it.

And, before you gloat too much, check how individual Democrats are fairing vs. the few Republicans who have the balls to face a  humiliating election. Lots of people are fed up with Congress (Which some say is the natural state of a representative government.) but most know where to lay the blame. Most polls reflect that less than a quarter of the nation hasn&#039;t figured it out. Doubtless the bottom quarter of the curve.</description>

		<description>If you understood the economy you would know that oil prices are no more expensive including inflation as they were in the 1980&#039;s but of course you were not born then.

Today the poor have cable, cell phones, cheap transportation,
Lots of food and drink. When Jimmy Carter was running the show we would get in line for hours to get gasoline, then interest rates were 21%. Carter ousted the Shaw of Iran and here we are still trying to fix the failures of Jimmy.

We need more supply of oil and thank god that the Iraq Government is smarter that the Majority in the USA congress. Nancy is on her way out. Where is her &quot;common sense&quot; approach to lower gas? Her word is no good. Grow up and get an educated opinion!</description>

Your dEMOcrats haven’t done a damn thing to help the poor since they took power.&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>Omni,

But you still have no feelings for human life or respect for other countries and their rights. Your attitude is: &quot;I got mine, Cheney you!&quot;

And if you actually believe that we are better off now than if either Kerry or Gore had been elected, there truly is no hope for you.

But salvation is coming in January, you will see.</description>

Omnipotency,
Can you give us your contact info? I’d like to do my part to fight terrorism.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Uh oh... I think I&#039;m being e-thugged.  OH NOES!

I would love it if someone could send me a buddy pass to this alternate reality that you live in.  I wouldn&#039;t mind checking it out.

And through all this nonsense, no one has bothered to ever refute a single point.  Instead, it&#039;s just a bunch of posturing.  It&#039;s no wonder that the only people that take you seriously are your own kind.  You can barely form sentences, let alone rational thought and I&#039;m supposed to consider you my equal?  Yeah...  To quote the guy who got everything right except the Holocost, I consider you untermenschen.



&lt;blockquote&gt;
upside99 Says:

So all you care about is your cost of raw materials? If there was no oil in Iraq, you wouldn’t care one way or another?

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Way to miss the point.  **WHOOOOSH**

I&#039;m not the owner of the business, I&#039;m not even an executive.   I make roughly $40k a year.  I&#039;m a regular white color joe just like your parents.  I stand to gain nothing, nor lose anything business wise no matter where the market fluctuates.

However, every one of you should care.  That $10 plastic keyboard you banged out your barely coherent nonsense with will end up costing you around $40 in the very near future.

So keep on pretending people care what you think.  Your dEMOcrats haven&#039;t done a damn thing to help the poor since they took power.  Why do you think their approval rating is less than your favorite demon, Bush?

(And if anyone cares, Yes.  I do believe Bush is complete retard that never should have been elected.  But when you put up choices like Al &quot;OMG THE SKY IS FALLING BUT I CAN&#039;T PROVE IT&quot; Gore, and John &quot;Would you like to buy a used Toyota?&quot; Kerry, what do you expect the rest of America to do?  I&#039;d probably vote for Obama if he didn&#039;t have such a terrible foreign policy.)

Let&#039;s see if I get any real replies, or if you simps continue to troll.</description>
