Rove on Faux news: Getting out of Iraq would drive oil prices to $200
This morning on Fox News Sunday, former White House adviser Karl Rove claimed that redeployment from Iraq would cause oil prices to shoot to $200 a barrel:
" If we were to give up Iraq with the third largest oil reserves in the world to the control of an Al Qaida regime or to the control of Iran, don’t you think $200 a barrel oil would have a cost to the American economy?"
Before we invaded oil was a $36 and now is $103

Al Qaida has never been anywhere near strong enough to
control Iraq, and the Iraqis distrust Iran.

Al queda are not strong enough to control iraq because the troops are killing the al queda fighters.

4. What a bold faced lie.......I suspect it would have the opposite effect.
My guess is the Iraqis would dump as much oil on the market as they could to help pay for rebuilding things.
This is all contingent on the Iraqis having control of there own oil which I don't know for sure.

That is pretty hard to do with al queda attacking the oil infrastructure.

6. The Same Old
We are constantly bombarded by this stream of lies from the American administration.
One is reminded of the quotations of Hitler: "How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think."
or perhaps
"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it."
Either one is more than applicable.
