>>>I haven't ruled out the possibility of Ronald McDonald killing me in my sleep with an axe, so I guess that could happen too...

>>Well Ronald McDonald is not a Pulitzer award winning journalist as this man Hersh is either is he? Perhaps you just reaaaaaly want to believe that Bush would never push the button, so the thing to do is just call it bull and alarmist? (helps you feel safer?) I mean we have all the reason n the world to trust him right? He's got us in an illegal war based on bogus info and he leaks info about our CIA operatives. Now this comes out and he hasn't denyed it. I mean the guy is kinda trigger happy (although at least he doesn't go around shooting old men in the face with a shotgun like his VP)...

>Ah, the sarcasm. I love it. No, reaaaaaly. It's a great thing.

Ok. The journalist is a Pulitzer award winning author - Bush has not denied it. It's not bull and its not alarmist - it's simply a fact.


>>>I think it has a lot more to do with the oil companies basically charging whatever the market will support. Is Bush soft on them? Yep, but it's just a variation of the long-standing pork barrel philosophy that the basic politics of our country was built on.
>>
>>That is also part of it, but the oil companies wouldn't be able to play the Iraq card to increase what the market is willing support if we were not at war riiiiiight? And again - this is the fault of the Bush administration - plus Bush is an oil man himself. Face it, if Bush wasn't in office, gas prices wouldn't be though the roof right now. (and our young men wouldnt be coming home in body bags either).

>Uh, I think that's what the whole pork barrel reference was for.

Ok - so then we agree that Bush is in great part to blame for the gas prices? Or we decide we don't agree?
