Tinfoil thought: gasoline prices and the pending attack on Iran.

[jpak]

One of the reasons given to explain the recent drop in gas prices is higher US inventories of crude and refined products.

An attack on Iran will most certainly curtail oil shipments from the Persian Gulf - transient or long term.

Is the oil industry building gasoline supplies in anticipation of US attack on Iran and potential disruption of crude supplies in its aftermath????

Justa thought...

1. Nah....

... The supplies of the oil have been there all along... The Repugs needed the appearance of at least one thing going in their favor for the up-coming elections.

2. It is purely politically driven to quell the voters anger over gas prices

Nothing more, The price of a barrel of oil is still over $60.

3. Are we stupid enough to bomb Iran? Perhaps, are we smart

enough to deal with the aftermath? See invasion of Iraq for a clue.

4. I think it's possible

I've been suggesting the same for a few days now.
