No Pun Intended But Could An Oil Rich Country Be Fueling A War.... [View all]

to get oil prices up?

This came to me in a dream (more like a nightmare). Just woke up in a cold sweat and thought I'd post this.

Think about it. No better way to jack up the price of oil then to foment a war.

Is there something going on behind the scenes that we're not privy to?
