So our fearless leader has completed his second fellatio fest at the lavish estates of the kings of Saudi Arabia, our mostest friendliest Middle-East allies and SUV enablers. Georgie is on his knees again for the second time this year at the behest of millions of unfortunately endowed Hummer drivers, as many of them can no longer afford , Viagra ,Minixodil and gasoline. Mr W seemed to enjoy the festivities as well.
After pleasing his Saudi friends, what did our lapdog-in-chief accomplish? Nothing, Nada, Zilch. The Saudi's have already increased production by 300,000 barrels a day, and say this is "sufficient to supply current demand". They plan no further increases. How's that 3rd mortgage coming to fill your Cadillac Pick-up ?
So, we're in an unwinable, unpopular, and illegal war for?
WMD? FAIL
Making the world a safer place from terrorism? FAIL
Keeping oil prices down? BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA MEGA ULTRA FAIL.
So, what for then?
IDK, maybe Oil Company profits, arms manufacturer profits, increased military spending when it was previously being reduced, private security firms taking over rolls performed the military and police... Who <em>personally</em> profits the most from these companies? Could it be? Maybe....
The upside to this is that people are driving less, buying more fuel efficient vehicles, and looking for alternatives to a mineral sludge that's in ever dwindling supply. Alternative energy sources are becoming more affordable. Seems like high oil prices were the best thing the planet could hope for.
I felt obliged to put some sort of italics down here, just to make it look like an "article", even though it's not. If you think I'm a legitimate news source, then you must think FTR is Reuters.
