What will you do when you hear the news?
Will you rush to the TV to see the pictures?
Will you say "Well I'm only one person, and there's nothing I can do about it now" as the Bush Administration and the corporate-statist media has conditioned you to do? Hell, even Letterman and Leno joke about it each night, how much of a surprise could it be? With OIL prices down nearly 30% from the summer's peak, there's plenty of cushion built in for the "shock to the markets", and of course, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is now full as well as more troops and carrier groups on their way. All while Bush's poll numbers continue their southward march even before the Democrats can decide what documents and officials to subpeona.
I doubt anything will happen until the 'hydrocarbon law' allowing foreign OIL companies sweetheart access to Iraq's life-blood-money is muscled to completion, which may take many months considering the hypersensitive nature of Iraq's internal politics, but when it is done W will truly be able to say "Mission Accomplished" and sidekick Dick's voice will be heard in the background yelling "NEXT?"
So if you are disturbed by today's "surge", how will you react to tomorrow's "TSUNAMI" ?
