Prediction : before using oil prices for political gain by lowering them
at the end of 06, the WH will blame the rise on Iranian manipulation.

1. They can try, but the damage is already done and it's no fault
of Iran. It's the clueless admin; the more they spin, the more they'll get caught in the web of their own deceit.

2. Nope, I don't think so ...
Like there's no loyalty among thieves, there's also no loyalty among BIG OIL Businessmen. :P Gas prices will stay high and go higher.

The true nature of our BushBotBorg Executive Branch is finally being revealed to the Average American. We all must hope that their demise in power will be before they take an opportunity to begin WWIII by launching Tactical Nukes at Iran. :(

3. Yeah You definately got a point. Americans by and large would fall right
into that from the emotional attachment to money. Thanks for the heads up

5. Chances are it won't work.
People are fed up and do not trust Bush.
