It's also a load of carp. I don't have time to pick it to pieces but here's one tidbit of wrong information:
...the United States is receiving a tremendous amount of oil from Iraq. Oil is down in overall export and production, but not tremendously so. We were -- at prewar was 2.5 million barrels a day. We’re now at about 2 or 2.2 million barrels a day. But 50% of that, on average, is coming to the United States...According to
official government energy statistics, we are nowhere near importing 50% of Iraqi oil production. More like 25%. Most Iraqi crude goes to Europe and Japan.
