    The recent run up in oil prices is causing the fed to begin worring about inflation again. The fed just issued a report stating that the danger of deflation is past. A major, if not the major, reason the report was issued is because of the runup in oil prices causing the costs of almost everything made from or delivered using oil to go up.

    Listen, go back to FreeRepublic and/or DU until you learn to read. I didn't say that Iraq II was a war-for-oil. I said it was one of the goals, that doesn't mean that is the reason that Bush issued the war orders!

    And a disruption of the Iraq oil supply was cause the world wide price of oil to go up, harming the economy of the United States.

    SA is either the 2nd or 3rd largest exporter of oil to the USA.

    Yes, but if we can convince Iraq to leave/not rejoin OPEC it will be a benifit to the US economy due to the, hopefully, cheaper world prices of oil.

    Considering that the DoD has tasked a considerable portion of our troups and outside security that the DoD hired to guard said oil assets, I think you are wrong.

    Saying the US economy runs on Oil is a fact. That statement makes no value judgement nor does it make a C/B analysis.

    I said that part of the war was securing access to their oil, which is true. And seeing that a very large portion of the US economy runs on oil, having access to Oil is a good thing from a stratigic point of view.

    Linux, because the DoD uses it, is now bad.

    Blaming the tool again...

    This person appears to have the thinking skills of a duck. He stops supporting Linux because the Military in using it,
    but he still uses the internet which the military helped fund and currently uses.

    Is he serious about his outrage or is he just being selective in his outrage and trying to play his leaving the LUG
    into an opportunity to get a better job with one of the LA antiwar groups?

    As a final note, having Iraq be free is important to our National Defence because, regardless of what those in DC say,
    part of the war in Iraq is securing access to vital resources for the American Economy. In other words oil.
