George W. Bush And The Price Of Oil

Could the current high price of oil be because of the U.S. invasion of Iraq? The U.S. invaded Iraq on March 18, 2003. If this chart is accurate the price of oil (adjusted for inflation) in 2001 was $27.09 per barrel, in 2002 was $26.42 per barrel, and in 2003 was $31.39 per barrel. Steady increases since then have pushed the price to the $100.00 per barrel range in 2007 and 2008. Let’s remember that the “decider” who made the decision to invade Iraq was George W. Bush. If only we could push back the clock to 2002 and stop the Iraq invasion.

Now we are supposed to believe that George W. Bush can do something to lower oil prices by dealing arms with Saudi Arabia. This is absolutely reprehensible. Let’s remember that fifteen of the attackers on September 11, 2001 were from Saudi Arabia. Do you feel as angry as I do that George W. Bush still occupies the White House?
