Re: More Reasons "Peak Oil" is a Crock

Thus the Iraq "war." Iraq is a giant reserve field the U.S. has
effectively seized to sustain its military after that runaway
disaster. We will see no substantial flow of Iraq's oil into the
world market. Ever.

The current and future chaos in Iraq was carefully crafted to disable
or minimize that oil flow. The U.S. is _not_ losing. Everything is
going as planned.

That's the only basis for the U.S. invasion and continued presence
there that actually makes any sense. This administration understands
better than any prior one the magnitude and inevitability of the peak
oil problem and the haste that is necessary in making preparation for
it. A day may come when Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, et al are
rehabilitated and seen as self sacrificial heroes.

Well, maybe not Wolfowitz. :-)
