Did you know ...

Here's an interesting little tidbit for you ...

Remember all those HIGH gas prices?

Well ... Iraq is a member of the oil cartel Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
By militarily occupying Iraq, the U. S. government has become a de facto member of OPEC.
Since March 2003 the U. S. government has supported all the skyrocketing oil price policies of OPEC.
The U.S./Iraqi delegate has always voted for the price-raising oil production cutbacks.
In Iraq, the U. S. government has cut back oil production from the pre-invasion level of 2.9 million barrels per day to 1.8 million barrels per day currently.

Now, ain't that a kick in the teeth!
