When you see how little of it comes from the Middle East, and especially how almost none of it comes from the hostile parts of the Middle East, I hope that you will at least re-examine the blood for oil claim. Is that small percentage of oil truly more important than virtually everything else about our country, to the point where we'd infuriate everyone in the world, plus most of our own people, to wage a war?

Traders freak out. Prices climb the tree like mad to escape the tsunami. Everyone between you and the guy who connects the hose to the well in Yemen becomes terrified, and oil becomes the most prized commodity on the planet. It's simple, it's obvious, it's organic, and it's Economics 101. It's not blood for oil and it's not a Halliburton conspiracy. It's a fact of world economics, and the tidal force of the world economy is the strongest superpower on Earth.

We certainly haven't won any free oil or earned any favoritism discounts. So why do the conspiracy theorists draw this connection? I don't know. None of it makes any sense to me.
Prices are driven by markets. Markets are driven by human beings. Human beings are driven by emotions. Emotions, like fear, explode when we get into a war. When we get into a war in an oil-producing region, petroleum markets in those regions go insane. Stockholders get nervous.

@DarkprinX2500 Since none of our oil supply is dependent on these Middle Eastern countries we're always fighting with, how come that fighting affects our gas prices? Sounds like a smoking gun to me. Clearly, we wouldn't be fighting them if we weren't getting some oil out of it somewhere, say the conspiracy theorists. Maybe the Saudis are behind it. Maybe attacking Iraq is a way to please Saudi Arabia. Well, if it is, the fighting sure didn't improve our gas prices much.

Again you offer zero evidence to back up any of your claims. Everything you're saying is pure speculation. You can't control something that so incredibly volatile especially during times of war. It's clear you're understanding of economics is highly lacking. So what if all politicians banded together and did something about it?

Actually it's going to defense mainly due to the Cold War and the current War of Terrorism. This isn't the 1800s we're in anymore. Only cretinous leftards believe in such a silly thing.

@TheAntiV you forgot Saudi Oil.. Saudi Arabia is the biggest dictatorship of them all.. but USA still happily allies itself with it.. it's a fact that women aren't even allowed to drive in the kingdom
DOUBLE STANDARDS!!

Don't expect any of this to lower oil prices. Oil prices are simply controlled by the US Cartel and manipulated by Wall Street Speculators. There is not one good politician in Washington will to do something about this because it would mean there political career. No one in Washington cares!
