Another Sign of Miserable Failure In Iraq
The very fact that oil is not flowing from Iraq is a sign of b**h incompetence.

If a big oil man can't even get the oil out, how can we expect them to do anything right?

1. Getting the oil out was not the plan.
The plan was to pull a Goldfinger. Good for Exxon/Mobil. Fuck you and me.

3. Remember?
b**h went on TV at the time of 'Shock and Awe', requesting they not damage the oil wells? It was the plan, it has always been the plan to get their oil buddies in control.

Well, there they are, but they have failed at even that, and they are pros at getting oil.

What a miserable failure they are.

4. Are you asking...
Was it the case to get oil? Yes it was.

Or are they getting the oil but we don't know? Could be.

For sure, they had enough oil to fill the strategic reserve, and there are no REAL shortages today.

My point being that in these days of price gouging, the failure to alleviate the matter with Iraqi oil production is just one more feather in the chicken-hawk's hat.

5. Oil production from Iraq would be a proverbial drop in the bucket
so you wouldn't see any major shift in prices. But as far as I know oil is flowing again there.

6. You miss the point
All while saying: "as far as I know"

The point being that they have failed to do anything about price gouging and get the oil we need from Iraq to keep the prices down. Iraq has been a total failure.

Even the big oil faction has failed us.
