    Default Iraq ready to pump oil

    a deal buster for the dems and OPEC

    BAGHDAD — Iraq is on the verge of approving its first significant deals with major Western oil companies since the war began, the government said Thursday — a move that could give big firms like BP, Shell, ExxonMobil and Total an important boost as the country's oil industry expands and grows more lucrative.

    Now the moonbats will say this proves the war was for oil

    Any good news for America is bad news for the Dems - they will have to spin in some way to make America and Pres Bush look bad

    If you are going to beat your opponent it helps to think like them. I know the words thinking and liberals do not belong in the same sentence, but it makes my point

    Liberals want to see as many Amercians as possible suffering with the high price of gas. They have hoped for the US economy to tank, for the US to lose in Iraq, and as many people as possible to lose their jobs

    The more misery the better

    Dems will do all they can to prevent a pipeline from being built. They will say how it will harm the enviroment, or how the extra oil will not help lower the price

    Trust me, Dems will do whatever it take to undermine the deal. They are scared progress will be made

    It's about time--it's only been five years! Although, you must know the infrastructure out there hasn't been upgraded since the 1970s and it'll take a decade before it's updated and functioning at full capacity. Maybe now that there's a worldwide energy crisis they'll actually be able to get the investment needed to do it!

    I find it humorus that Iraq's pipes were fine until we invaded. I think it was murdock who said the invasion would keep oil at 20 bucks a barrel. Some other repuke said the sale of Iraqs oil would pay for the war. Another ooops. We will see if the oil helps the US debt.
    A chance for a new beginning, like a dawn of reconciliation.

    File it under "mission accomplished," "the insurgency is in its last throes," and "It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."

    good. the more oil the better.
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    Imagine what good we can do if we all joined together, united as followers of Christ - M. Russell Ballard

    five years? have you no sense of history and what five years actually means/accomplishes? especially when you have folks (outsiders as well) blowing up the means of moving said product.... you know better than that

    they were fine? so maybe you don't mind if hitler controlled pipelines, afterall, if he did, they were fine under his reign.... repuke.... how tolerant liberal...

    it is the liberals who will be the ignition for a civil war in the country, mind you, folks like our recent friend PALE RIDER were quick to talk about war, it was only because the libs do not accept his position. as much as you don't like his brash talk, he was right at times and does represent a good portion of rural folks. unfortunately, he is not here to add his response.

    I wonder if that is why the Saudis decided to increase production. The 2 kind of coincide.
    "If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

    A war is just fine! And it won't be just libbys that start it. It will be an insurrection to make the war of independence pale. People here are real froggy. By the way the terrorists would love a good civil war here.
