THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

HAS ANYBODY NOTICED THAT WE ARE JOINING OPEC? | 2003-03-22

Bush would rather die than be condemned by liberals, and liberals have said this war is for cheap oil.

Has anybody considered what it means if this war does NOT obtain cheap oil?

We will have to be sure that Iraqi oil goes out at the "normal" price. What is the "normal" price?

The "Normal" price is the price set by the OPEC cartel. In fact, all OPEC consists of is a group of countries who agree not to sell oil below the price OPEC sets.

When we agree to sell Iraqi oil at the OPEC price, we join OPEC.
