1. Since finishing his term as U.S. President, George Bush Senior has worked as an independent consultant for the American Petroleum Institute (API) the trade association representing the U.S. petroleum industry including exploration and production, transportation, refining, and marketing. He negotiates contracts for oil imports into the U.S. and is paid a commission based on profit margin.
2. George Bush Junior is U.S. President.
3. Gas is over $4 and quickly heading to $5 a gallon.
Are these three things related or is it all just an amazing coincidence.

Oil Company price policy?

PIX-ED asked:


I recently read an article that quoted independent gas station owners who were complaining that the major oil companies are charging them much more for their gas supplies than they charge the company owned gas stations, thus forcing independents to charge more at the pump accordingly.
First, is it true and second, doesn’t that bring up monopoly or restraint-of-trade legal issues?

this is a quote from AP wire services:
“A purported Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, claimed in a phone call to The Associated Press that militants shot the helicopter down in southern Helmand province, THE WORLD”S LARGEST OPIUM POPPY GROWING REGION WHERE COMBAT HAS BEEN HEAVY IN RECENT MONTHS”
The USA government really does not care care about Darfur because they have nothing the USA wants , nothing that makes money. The U.S has interests in Iraq for the oil of course, is the TRUTH OF THE MATTER that the U.S.A. is fighting (or whatever the U.S.A. is doing) with Bin Laden in Afghanistan REALLY to PROTECT the U.S.A.’s interest in the OPIUM POPPY? As Afghanistan has nothing else the USA would want and the USA really has not tried very hard too “get” Bin Laden anyway you know (and i hope you are not foolish enough to believe that the USA does not have an interest in the drug trade..of course the USA does!)
the USA’s “war on drugs” as everybody knows ..is a big fat front and a farce, the USA makes money off the drugs and it also helps to anesthetise (and kill) the underclass)
the usa has released propaganda to US citizens that Bin Laden is now using the drug money from the poppies to finance his terrorism as if he finally woke up and now instead of not allowing planting of poppies he is now protecting the poppies for his own needs. How stupid does theUSA government think it’s citizens are?
