How's this for a scenario?
The Middle East reacts badly to George Bush and his attempts to bring freedom to the region. The area descends into chaos and the price of oil shoots through the roof.
i'm not sure how long a ME war would last but surely it would provide Dubya with a cover to deny that PO is happening because we will all be under the impression that the reason for the sky high oil prices and resulting economic depression will be the fact that they are not letting us have our oil.
