its impossible to be using that much Iraqi oil and still have the gas prices so inflated.
The site that you linked was quite interesting, thank you! One thing I did note however was a flaw in your thinking. For the six months that are on display Canada's exports to the U.S. excede all other countries in the world. This would indicate to me that Canada has plenty enough gas to go around would it not? Why is it then that with all of our excess oil/gas - the price at
our pumps is 98.9 per liter? Thats what... 2 or 3 times the prices seen in the U.S.?
A surplus in oil and gas does not dictate the price at the pumps.
Well, if its really about oil then why are gas prices so high? The reason is because its not true.
You have not shown that. As Crash has pointed out, all thats been shown is that the companies now have more oil to profit from.
I would go so far as to say that securing oil would be a fringe benefit of toppling the Iraq autocracy
Yup, billions or trillions of dollars for a few companies is a hell of a fringe benefit. How silly of anyone to think this would be a primary consideration when invading a country that was allowing weapons inspections.
