"Guess who just supported OPEC drastically cutting oil production in order to artificially keep oil prices at record highs?
Our best buddy, and OPEC member, Iraq!
Iraqi Oil Minister Hussain Al-Shahristani said that crude priced below $80 a barrel would force his country to rethink its spending next year."Our budget for 2009 is based on $80 per barrel and so any fall beyond that is going to cause a strain on our budget," he said.
Oh yes, God forbid oil prices fall below $80 a barrel. I feel your pain. Considering the fact that our country is spending $100bn a year on that hell hole you call a country. And now you think $80/barrel is a fair price? SCREW YOU.Screw them all. OPEC, of which Iraq is a member, along with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait (two more of our wonderful stab-you-in-the-back "friends"), announced today drastic cutbacks in oil production in order to keep oil prices artificially high.
Seriously, screw them all. Screw Saudi Arabia, a corrupt dictatorship whose own citizens were behind 9/11. Screw Kuwait, whose ass we should never save again. We're on the verge of a massive worldwide recession, and these SOBs are more than happy to shove us into the grave. Screw them all. It's high time we considered these countries as not our friends, and treated them accordingly. We need a long-term strategy to separate ourselves from these nutjobs and their energy. They are not our friends. And as for Iraq, what are we doing there?"
- I totally agree! We are in Iraq to have access to their oil. We need to get away from oil period!DCDesigns
