30. Glad you like it BHN, But I feel kinda bad
about bringing up the realities of getting at this oil

Yes, in a pinch, it's there. The industry has known about it for decades

But, it hasn't been profitable to go after it until now.

The world is full of oil, it's just

how much do you want to go through to get it

For our Major oil players, that's why Iraqi oil; is so highly prized

It's really cheap to go after oil in Iraq. It's not far underground

and if you can sucker the American people to send their military to go steal it for you

and the oil companies can sucker us into paying those costs with taxes, and their taxes are slashed

then they will go after it first. They are bloodthirsty opportunists
