Rove: Iraq Redeployment Would Cause $200 A Barrel Oil

thinkprogress.org — This morning on Fox News, former Karl Rove claimed that redeployment from Iraq would cause oil prices to shoot to $200 a barrel: "If we were to give up Iraq with the third largest oil reserves in the world to the control of an Al Qaida regime or to the control of Iran, don’t you think $200 a barrel oil would have a cost to the American economy?"

  • DavidYeah, on 03/02/2008, -1/+4The best response to this argument is to bring up how important it is to invest in alternative energy sources that can be built in America so we don't have to rely on such a volatile region for our energy.
  • SheilaNoya, on 03/02/2008, -2/+5Al Qaeda isn't going to take control of Iraq. The Iraqis don't want Al Qaeda there any more than we do. This fear-mongering is absurd.

  • matt70, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1...just like invading Iraq to supplant Saddam Hussein and sdpread Democracy resulted in cheaper oil.
    Um, this guy really thinks we're still stupid.
  • inactive, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1According to Greg Pallast the invasion was about reducing the flow of oil from Iraq and using artificial scarcity to increase the price.
    Monopoly corporatism.
