We have screwed ourselves, or I should say, the people in Washington have over the last 40 years. Lack of drilling, no clean coal facilities, no nuclear, etc, etc. All the oil nations have us by the balls. You can blame the "oil companies" all you want, but they are not the ones that have done this. We can scream for "Green" all we want, but their are no "Green" solutions on the horizon (well, ethanol, that's worked out real well). If fuel prices get to $8 per gallon, everything will shut down. Everyone can ride a bike to work, but you can't ship goods around the country with bikes.

This war is an excuse to gouge the American poeple at the pump

If it is all the the evil Republican oil companies, then why wouldn't they lower prices in an election year? Especially since the Republican "brand" is so bad right now? If it is the US oil companies, why was Bush in the Middle East, "hat in hand", begging the Saudi's to produce more? Which they basically told him to fuck off. OPEC, China, Russia and all the oil producing countries own us, because of our own stupidity. In the old days, when OPEC started raising prices, whomever was President went to them, and told them we were about to start drilling, turning coal into fuel, nuclear, etc. OPEC would always immediately drop their prices. Now, they just laugh at us, they know the "Green" movement has taken over our country. They can charge what they want, and tell us to fuck off.
