Don’t worry, just a little bump - $70 is just around the corner. Short traders just keep making those margin calls, mortgage the house if you have to. Fortunes await you! PO is for pansies and doomers. At $70 short some more ..... it is going back to $22 .... the world is awash with oil ........ reality has nothing to do with it, its all in those charts!!!!!!!!!!

Hasn't Iran got a number of tankers all primed and ready to go, parked off its coast? Wonder if there's any connection?
I was under the impression that the general consensus (at least around here) was that those tankers are part of an effort to manipulate oil prices by removing tankers from the already extremely tight global shipping network. _________________ The whole of human history is a refutation by experiment of the concept of "moral world order". - Friedrich Nietzsche

I'd hope even a republican would forgo destroying the way of life of western civilization just to show a bunch of backwater Muslims how big their balls are. _________________ Was a long and dark December

Since apparently about 95% of Congress thinks that speculators are causing high oil prices, and high prices have nothing to do with threatening to bomb oil producer Iran, I am starting to think that reason is not going to prevail here. _________________ It's already over, now it's just a matter of adjusting.

Weren't there some little issues with the US backed Shah of Iran prior to 1979... ?
Well in 1958 the CIA over threw the democratically elected government of Iran and installed the Shah in power. A little ghost left over from the Cold War.

Oh. I was just checking. And yes, but that was that other party in 79 but that whole policy probably ties into the party before that, which ties into the party before that, which ties into a treaty giving Israel a land steeped in religious tradition, but not much of anything else. So, I guess it could be said that bad foreign policy is not party specific. And ya'll can chill on the attacking Iran thing. Aint' happening in an election year. Obama will have to sort them out. Now, where did I put the key to my fallout shelter????
EDIT:
Oh, yup. Novus got my back on the policy tracking.

Nice to see that whole liberal tolerance mechanism kicking. Such a pragmatic paradox.

I guess being a small government, laissez faire capitalist, personal freedoms and personal responsibility kinda guy is liberal now. From a fascist point of view, I suppose that's possible.

Buggy, read up on U.S., British and French involvement in Iran for the past 100 years, then put the shoe on the other foot.
