1. I don't know but their profits are directly tied to the deaths of...
...over 2200 American servicemen and -women. Energy companies got over $200 billion (with a "B") worth of PSA's from the interim Iraqi government. Mission accomplished indeed!

4. Mainly based on the artificial price inflation post-Katrina.

5. I doubt that very much.
No way are they getting that much oil out of Iraq.

6. I don't know where Exxon gets most of its oil from but think about this
at 20 dollars a barrel the company is profitable what happens if suddenly oil is 60 and all expenses are the same wouldn't your profit go through the roof, as they did?
