<p><strong><font size="2">I&nbsp;just have a general question for all of you out there, there is no right or wrong answer at this point.

<p>Acording to the News Report i saw tonight Iraq was pumping out more
oil then it was now so Gas would be cheaper if the companies were honest</p><p>but 40 billion in profit for 4 quarters in a row and they say gas is high from shortage thats insain&nbsp;</p>

<p>We went to war and now I'm paying out the ass. Next question. </p><p>I think it was clear when we pulled down Saddam's statue and put the American flag over it. Ok, we put the Iraqui flag over but it was a second thought. Sempir fi.</p>

&quot;If we didn't go to war then...&quot;
