As I wrote earlier our trading partners would treat us with contempt if we tried to apply the blow torch to OPEC on oil prices. Poor old Martin Ferguson, the minister for nuclear waste, didn't even raise his hand, let alone a blow torch to protest oil prices at the OPEC meeting.
My sympathies are with Kevin Rudd in this matter for he's a poor bastard who's trying to do his best, but he's surrounded by a staff that is as arrogant and innocent as he is.
Why isn't Kevin Rudd running a scare campaign on climate change? A scare campaign is all that will motivate us to do those things to avoid the catastrophe that is building. Not that the opposition has any idea about the devastation climate change is going to inflict on us either. But for Kevin Rudd to think that he can win points by accusing his opponents of being scared of climate change shows the abysmal ignorance of his government.
For him to imagine that a scare campaign on climate change is a dishonorable thing is close to pathetic. But it does alert the rest of us that we are being led by a government of the blind. Haven't they looked at the physical evidence haven't they read the reports and the research? As an example no one disputes that all the ice in the Arctic will have disappeared by 2013. Apparently that isn't enough to frighten our venerable leaders.
Obama will not be allowed to give away Iraqi oil. The war has been fought for it and it’s so close to the US that motorists on freeways can smell it. They don’t know the deals that are bringing it closer but they just assume that they will be looked after.
Neither the oil business or the military business will allow the deals be dribbled away because there is no American military there to protect it. How do I know this? It’s very easy. Look at the strategy. Iraq has 115 trillion barrels of known oil and the US draft legislation for the Iraqi Congress gives the West 80%.
Say the war eventually cost 3 trillion dollars, that is barely tipping (not American tipping anyway) money for the 115 trillion barrels at say, $US150 a barrel. There is an estimated 350 trillion barrels that hasn’t been properly surveyed yet and that all goes (yes, 100%) to the West.
How does Obama argue against the economics here? Presumably he won’t mention it before the election and neither will anyone else. Put your minds to rest though, the circling of Obama has begun.
