Why do you think we are in Iraq. Saddam was sitting on 13 trillion dollars of oil. And wasn’t part of O.P.E.C. And for all the people that don’t know what opec is, they control the current prices of the oil. So we shut off the stream of cheap oil Saddam was put on the market and BAM $3.50 a gallon. Isn’t life Great!! Not to talk about the American kids getting hurt over it!!
