Allright, you may have a point here:
- What “troops” do you think we pulled from SA?

well – i have to look into it, – do you know details? I don’t remember, except that we had a military presence there and now we don’t.

Anyway: oil price is what it is and ME situation is one of the factors.

If Iran war will start- we’ll have to face fuel shortages for real

In today’s global economy oil/n-gaz rssrves of OPEC+Russia doubled the value of combined global finance

American prestige did fall down as a result of soviet inspired propaganda

And OBAMA is a product of Vietnam-like syndrome
———-

If USA pulls out of IRAQ- which may be arranged by OBAMA easily:

then it is going to be trouble: we will lose ME completely and for good

IRAN and IRAQ may be called competitors in oil exports, at least before the 2003

Again- today USA must remain in Iraq for as long as possible
