One would have thought that leading Democratic senators who claim to be interested in finding other sources of funding to replace American dollars in Iraq, in helping Iraq spend its own money on its own people, and in lowering the price of gasoline for American citizens, would have been all for it. Instead, Senators Chuck Schumer, John Kerry, and Claire McCaskill wrote a letter to Secretary of State Rice asking her “to persuade the GOI [Government of Iraq] to refrain from signing contracts with multinational oil companies until a hydrocarbon law is in effect in Iraq.” The Bush administration wisely refused to do so, but the resulting media hooraw in Iraq led to the cancellation of the contracts, and helps to explain why Iraq is doing oil deals instead with China. <- source ->
I can not believe this. Wait, yes, I do. These three democrats, while not as overtly treasonous as Pelosi and Obama, none the less meddled with our nation’s foriegn policy, allies, and our economy. You do realize that these people completely screwed us over and are partially responsible for today’s high gas prices? Think about it, do you think that OPEC would be able to hike the price as much if our nation’s oil comapnies had access to Iraqi oil? Now Obama & the Democrats are trying to say that Iraq owes us big time. Well, they do, but they could have paid some of that back in oil. Not anymore thanks to these three musketeers.
