In spite of the fact that it cost huge amounts of money to explore for and then extract oil, in spite of the fact that companies in the oil industry do not make profit margins that are out of line with other industries, and notwithstanding the fact that most of the oil in Iraq will bail out Europe and Asia you will never win this argument. The bottom line is that the U.S. needs to put all energy options on the table and pull out all the stops in CONUS. There is more oil, coal, and natural gas to be extracted in North America and there is a whole lot of R&amp;D going on that will completely change the energy situation a lot sooner than anyone realizes.</description>

		<description>Thanks for this in-depth report. It is a shame, although not in the slightest bit surprising that the subject matter of your blog is not reported in the mainstream.</description>

		<description>&quot;In Iraq this week, the giant oil fields were opened to foreign bidders. U.S. conglomerates such as Exxon Mobil are about to sign no-bid contracts to move in. Big Oil, already brimming with profits, will have a fine Fourth of July.&quot;

What kind of sourpuss comment is that? So what is your answer? Let Iraq flounder without any assistance in increasing their exports? I suppose the enemies of Iraq might wish such a thing, but it hardly seems like a good idea in light of the fact that the ENTIRE WORLD, not just the US badly needs the oil that Iraq has to offer for sale. Doesn&#039;t it benefit the ENTIRE WORLD, not just &quot;Big Bad Oil&quot; to have more Iraqi oil available for export? Hmmmm?? Of course it does. 

So &quot;Big Bad Oil&quot; is going to make a lot of money? So what? I suppose that rankles the SOCIALIST mindset of the Communist wannabes in the West, but that&#039;s too bad. It takes money to find and discover more oil so they can continue to fill up your big, fat SUV. Get a life.</description>
