[Chevelle-list] [Fwd: Oil reserves in US]

[Herb Lumpp]

I don't know a lot about the dealings between our country and others, but
what I don't understand is if the US is the number one consumer/customer of
oil then why can't we tell oil producing nations that we will only pay $50 a
barrel (for example) take it or leave it.  If they don't take the price we
offer, then we don't buy it and they're sitting on useless oil, pretty
simple.  It works for Wal-Mart.

If you watch the whole movie you will understand it's not the oil companies
that are doing all of this (it's 1 hour & 45 mins).

Hear how only two countries would not sign to price their oil in dollars
only in the 1960's. Guess who, Iraq & Iran .
