For ANYONE that says the Iraqi illegal invasion and occupation had no impact on the price of crude, please remember the following:

Crude Price June 2002 = $22
Crude Price May 2008 = $135

But giving the trolls and the other 23%ers the light of truth is like trying to bail out the Atlantic with a thimble.

rogerese - how does paying back 9 TRILLION dollars in debt hit you ?&lt;/em&gt;

He&#039;s Republican, so he doesn&#039;t care.  When his grandchildren get to be old enough to figure &lt;em&gt;they&lt;/em&gt; are the ones who will have to pay off the debt, they will probably hit him.</description>

btw, 2002-2008 is also about the time frame worldwide oil production peaked…so you really think iraq had more of an effect?.&lt;/em&gt;

We have stirred up the entire ME with our crazy Bush Top Gun imitation and that has hugely impacted the ACTUAL production as well as the speculation of production, which drives up prices.

So, yea, our little Codpiece Commander Guy has had a MAJOR impact on the price of all hydrocarbons.</description>

However, scooters are showing up even on I-45 so maybe ?</description>

		<description>For ANYONE that says the Iraqi illegal invasion and occupation had no impact on the price of crude, please remember the following:

Crude Price May 2008  = $135
