Entry: The Surge--Is It Soup Yet? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_surge_is_it_soup_yet#21972 Post contents: Torabora writes: "Now let’s snap out of it and take the oil fields. Wall ‘em off and pump ‘em dry. What is so hard to understand here?" What Torabora doesn't seem to appreciate is that those same oil fields were already being pumped dry by diabolical Muslim capitalists, who very much wanted to sell us their oil at then existing prices (or about $27 per barrel when GWB took office). Apparently these monsters wanted to recoup the cost of pumping their oil AND even beyond that, they were trying to collect whatever profit the market would bear (in addition to their cost)!! Well, we showed them alright. Our new team can pump even less oil than Saddam's guys did, and have it sold to America at 3 to 4 times the pre-war cost per barrel. And all of this for the nominal surcharge of a trillion dollars or so, to cover OUR costs. Oh, and a few people on both sides may have been hurt... Sent at: 2008 05 13
