Get off those dumbass websites for a while and visit reality.
even without those websites you can still connect the dots, there is no theory to it when you see a trail of greedy people bankrupting others. i really hope hr 1207 goes through and then you could see the money trail in the higher levels. the thread is correct that speculators drove the price up, which in turn the us dollar was sinking which caused some arab nations financial trouble.

let me also add the iraq traded oil in the euro, and guess which country is going to do the same. . .iran maybe. see the connection there too. opec nations are backed by the US dollar which is worth about as much as 1 square of toilet paper to wipe my ass with.
