FUnny thing is even if the President wanted to pull out the troops he cant. Just as with he hadd go to Congress with the declariation for war he must do the same to stop. And BTW Rumsfield and The Joint cheifs of staff are the ones that pretty much control where we go and who we attack. The President is almost just a figured head who agrees with what his council of advisors say.. (Thats what they are for and why they are there.) And instead of lowering the Gas price why not punish the COs that own the gas for taking advantage and hiking up the prices, if they wanted they could keep a fairly decent price and still make the trillions of $ they still make, but why do that when they can make it go up and up, bc hey ppl need it so they r gonn buy it. Also think bout this, Gas really isnt that much. Yes its more then it is in the past but with time all things go up, but then again ppl start to make more. I just dont see what all the bitching is about, it has nothing to do with the middle east controlling the oil, this same thing happens every year, yes it hasnt goen up as much as this time but like i said its jus the times. If anyone wants to bitch bitch bout how much COKE has gone up, hell it use to be .5 now its 1.25. Thats WAY more of an increase then anything i can think of, But no one can blame that on the middle east or w/e so no one thinks bout that.
