Kerry Says Bush Broke Promise on Oil

[Khephra]

SPRING GREEN, Wis. -- Democratic Sen. John Kerry said Wednesday the $50 per barrel price of oil reflects a broken promise of President Bush that will hurt average Americans.

Bush said that Iraqi oil "would pay for the war, but we know that those oil pipes are being blown up," Kerry said. "We know that $50 a barrel isn't as bad as it might get because analysts are now telling us that the price may go up to $60."

"Halliburton's not feeling the pain," Kerry said. "The people in Saudi Arabia and (the) Middle East who get the money aren't feeling the pain. But the average American is going to feel the pain of the fact that President Bush has broken his promise, doesn't have an energy policy for this country and doesn't know how he's going to solve the problem of Iraq."

Also Wednesday, Kerry's campaign released a TV ad on "energy independence" in which he says: "I want an America that relies on its own ingenuity and innovation, not the Saudi royal family."
