I heard something about the interest rate is affecting the value of the dollar so the price is up. The FED bailed out the banks for all the bs house loans they made and we are paying for it threw gas.

there are few books out about economic slavery I think we all need to read at least one of those. any one who has a debt should read it. It is an eye opener.

5 Western Oil Companies have just gotten the contracts to help develop the Iraqi oil fields.

"Exxon Mobil, Shell, BP, Total and Chevron, as well as to several smaller oil companies." - http://biz.yahoo.com/nytimes/080630/1194790119077.html?.v=3

Do believe Exxon and Chevron are the only US oil comapnies

Well Shell is a US comapny, though an affiliate of the Dutch company, Royal Dutch Shell

Total is a French company, 4th in the world.
BP is a British company, 3rd in the world.

So the number 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 top oil companies will be in Iraq, plus they say smaller oil companies as well.

2. Shell
3. BP

Okay, so now Iraq has failed to sign the contracts. This is such new news that right after I posted the last stuff, which JUST came out, this new news broke the wire.

"We did not finalise any agreement with them because they refused to offer consultancy based on fees, as they wanted a share of the oil," he said.

"The TSAs (technical support agreements) are only simple consultancy contracts to help us raise the production during the interim period" before the ministry enters into long-term contracts to develop the oil and gas fields.

Last week, oil ministry spokesman Asim Jihad told AFP that it would sign the support contracts on Monday and award longer term deals to 41 other energy companies. - http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080630132348.o5p2d1bs&show_article=1

The U.S.A. started some illegal , unjust , hellish wars ....,now it is facing the consequences of spending trillions and trillions of dollars on some futile , useless , unnecessary wars .
.

What does that sad rant have to do with oil prices? Besides nothing...

When you start the wars , you pay by trillions of dollars .......plus the lives of so many on both sides .......!.Is that not SAD enough ?.!.
In my judgment it is very , very , very SAD .
.

Exactly, absolutely nothing to do with oil prices or oil in general. Go create a ranting thread or invade one of the many topics doing just that already where you can cry your eyes out over the real world.

so much negative energy over my post - should I feel honored? angered? let's agree to disagree respectfully

I hate hijackers. The premise of your idea is funny and smart, however we all know it would lead to the deaths of millions of civilians from starvation, which would cause me to cry because in my judgement it is sad sad sad sad, and umm... sad.

I can see PETA getting involved to save the camels yet allows the rest of us to be screwed without ever been taken out to dinner.

Do you mean to STEAL the Iraqi oil ?.
Iraq is a colony under US occupation .
The propaganda always create ROBOTS from humans .

I would laugh at how ridiculous your statements are but then again you might cry. Just keep spinning out the propaganda and I'll grab the oil for your rusted joints.

A robot by any name is a robot . A thief by any name is a thief . Obviously a dirt by any name is only DIRT .
