Excellent post. I find your reasoning on the spot. I have read, and heard that the US oil companies have mucho reserves, and use them as an ace
in the whole. That way, they can manipulate the price of crude as they see fit. I have also heard that the reason the price of crude has stayed where
it has, is that the lower market price ruins the Saudi's , who nedd $100 a barrel plus to finance their empire.
look at what happened to Dubai. It's a bankrupt country full of empty shopping malls. They too needed the $100 a barrel plus oil.
Our oil barrons manipulate the price of crude as they see fit. We are just the unluckey recipients of that price control. But, I'm mistaken in
saying luck has anything to do with any of it. Everything is controlled and manipulated. We just live with the results.
Also, in my opinion, don't think the US wouldn't send troops into Saudia Arabia immediately if they threated the suppy in any way. I feel like the
US oil execs think they own that oil, but it just happens to be in another country. A small detail. The oil companies are part of the PTB, the elite,
whatever you want to call them. They are calling the shots in the government, not the president. Why do you think we still have troops in the mid
east fighting well armed camel jockeys? The government doesn't give a crap about or troops lives'. They just want to control the oil. There is no
other logical reason. Can you think of anything other than oil of any value there? The armed insurgents are a major nuisance in every theater of
operation. They must be dealt with to protect the oil, at any cost.
So , we arrive at our present situation, wasting countless lives to protect the oil. I'm not going to argue politics on this one. people will
believe what they want. I just hate to see our guys dying for a bunch of ignorant armed terrorists, who hate us just as much as we do them, and we
operate under the guise of nation building, and winning over the hearts and minds of the people. Please, does anyone believe that drivel??
