Again, it's OPEC that determines how much they are selling the oil to us. Halliburton has nothng to do with it. They got the contract to help with the rebuilding in iraq. An investigation was launched because Cheney is connected to them but they didn't find any wrongdoing. Either way someone had to do it and they were probably the most prepared. Btw, OPEC is run completely by the arab oil community. So saying Bush or someone is driving up oil prices (I hear that damn near any time I bring up Iraq to a democrat in RL...) is just another example of someone who has no idea what they are talking about shooting their mouth and repeating the same crap coming out of politicians mouths. I personally have no idea how people like ted kennedy get re-elected. Yes, he can do a lot for their state because he's been there so long but I can't see many people that actually listen to the crap that comes out of his mouth voting for him.
