#1 Do I hear ten dollars a barrel? How 'bout nine? O.K. eight, eight, who'll give me eight?

#2 Before the war started when people were asking who was going to pay for it? I pointed out that OPEC would through lower prices. Even at $20 a barrel payback time on the (financial) cost of the war is about a year.

Unfortunately and this has been totally ignored by the 'This war is about oil' crowd, the UK and Australia are net oil exporters, and will pay dearly for their principles.

#3 Alberta has a good system too.

However, looking on the bad side, when the price of oil drops, it becomes unprofitable for many US Domestic producers (and the Russians) to pump the stuff out of the ground.

And this war was all about ooooooil? I'm sure some of Dubya's oilpatch pals are wishing it WAS.

#4 US special forces along with Iraqi Republican military attacked Saudiu Arabia as part of the blueprint for peace in the region. Most aggree it should have happend sooner. The mullahs have cried for help from France but none, as yet, has appeared. Yemen has declared its border closed.

#6 Republican Guards...against the Saudi Forces. Reminds me about Churchill saying that he'd say a few good words about the Devil in the House of Commons.
