Guy on Glen Beck's show CNN says Hezbolla wants $200/barell

[lovuian]

gas. That Iran will profit from it and America will fall into a Depression

its called Economic Warfare and Bush has made us extremely vulnerable to it...

But alas the Saudis will profit from it too...

[onehandle]

1. And we're supposed to care about someone on Glen Beck's show?

Why?

[killbotfactory]

2. $20 a barrel?

How would that hurt the economy?

[RummyTheDummy]

3. Interesting

Why do I get the feeling that in the board rooms at Chevron, Exxon, Shell and the rest, champagne bottles are being cracked open and there are smiles all around. War in the ME is almost as good as a hurricane when you're looking for ready made excuses to gouge your customers. Those retirement mansions on the slopes of Aspen don't pay for themselves, you know.

4. Did You Mean 200 Dollars a Barrel?

Twenty would be like mana from heaven.

[jumpoffdaplanet]

5. That's the stupidest thing I've heard yet

$20 would make the economy boom.

Beck is a piece of shit

[calico1]

6. Did you mean $200?

Because it probably hasn't been $20 for at least 40 years or more.

[lovuian]

7. Yes Sorry it WAS 200 FORGOT THE OTHER Zero

sorry sorrysorry

[calico1]

10. Okay, that makes more sense now.

:hi:

[DistressedAmerican]

11. That Makes More Sense.

I was wondering how they were going to bring the price way down!

Typos! What can you do?:blush:

[calico1]

16. Thanks. I did not know the exact numbers.

Makes sense. I was paying around $1.39 when Bush took office and I thought it had gotten kind of high then. :(

[Dr.Phool]

9. It was less than $10 in 1999

Gas was under a dollar, and I was driving a SUV.

[DemInDistress]

12. oil was cheap just 10 years ago less than 20$ bbl.

15. This can't be true. If it was, how would Jed Clampett have had

all that money to put in Mr. Drysdale's bank? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me duh, ahh, umm, duh, umm...whatever.

[Beelzebud]

8. Does Glenn Beck lament about wishing to kill Michael Moore on TV

like he did on the radio?

[lovuian]

13. No he is lamenting about 200/barrell gas and a depression

Obviously Hezbohlah is the evil ones who are bringing gas prices so high

Wonder how much profits Exxon will make and George's polls going up

[Davis_X_Machina]

14. At that price a lot of non-OPEC, non-Iranian...

...non-Arab, non-oil options become eminently feasable.

Hezbollah wants $200/barrel oil?

Not bloody likely

[RB TexLa]

18. There is enough none Middle East oil options at the current price

to not have to look for anything.

[still_one]

17. no offense but I believe that is BS

we are talking about a world market, and as much as we like to think of us as the only one in the world there are other countries

who buy oil and help determine the price

Of course if they did push oil up to that high, they would price themselves out of business within 10 years. In that time or less, alternative fuels would then take over. In fact it would be interesting because the mideast would not have the importance it has now. Yes, there would be initial pain in the first several years, but it would also accelerate our independence over oil

19. Was it the CEO of Exxon?
