It does control the price. Greatly.
When there is instability in a region, there is a perceived ability to increase price due to said instability. When you consider that the current admin. is deep rooted in that industry -- well, there you go. To think that this war had nothing to do with oil is naive, to say the least. It was a three bird with one stone deal. 1) Support Israel, and thus set favor with the US media 2) Create oil prices of historical proportion 3) Create benefit for war-related (read defense contractors) industry. If you think this "war" had 1/10 of 1% to do with securing the freedom of our great nation you're dreaming. If you think it had to do with "helping" the people of Iraq you're in a coma. |

^OK -- so let's just agree it's "speculative at best". Fact is, there should be no doubt whatsoever in regard to the justification for going to war, and there should certainly be no cause to speculate.

Anybody see the movie, "Shooter," with Mark Wahlberg in it? Speaking of war for oil? It seemed quite plausible, sadly. Fun movie, though.
