Oil prices dropping in prep for war?

[azygous]

Could it be that the dropping oil prices may have something to do with oil producers ramping up production in anticipation of new military actions in the middle-east that could disrupt supply? We know that as soon as we drop the first bomb on Iran, they'll respond by blocking the strait of Hormuz.

This appears to be one more indicator that the war with Iran may be coming soon.

1. I read consumption was down due to the mild winter.

There's not as much demand as anticipated.

Of course, we only know what they want us to know... :(

2. What war?

BushCo is going down. They might want to start another war, but no one's playing along any more. The world is just waiting for them to finish destroying themselves.

3. You're right about them being increasingly isolated, even by

our corporate media. (GE must have figured out that a nuclear war n the Middle East wouldn't be especially good for profits.)

But they still have the capacity to launch one helluva messy first strike before anybody can stop them. Somebody has to get the football away from Shrub like they did in the last days of Nixon.

4. I remember seeing an interview

with Senator Sam Ervin and he talked about going to the military and making sure they wouldn't do anything if Nixon tried to do anything crazy.

I hope there are people in the Congress today, who are taking the same precations.
