But, really, if any of those were true their profits would still be the same even as prices rose. But, no, they've made unbelievable profits.

The Government won't investigate with any real punch because all the Oil Executives are F.O.B.s (Friends of Bush).

So Bush wins this way.

But if consumers raise a real ruccus, take to the streets and protest, Bush could then say that our presence in Iraq is justified to keep a source of oil available to us. That is, we invaded Iraq to secure oil and isn't Bush so great for seeing this crisis so far in advance?

Bush wins that way too.

Mind you that the only ones truly winning are Bush and his cronies but I'm talking serious spin here. No Administration does spin like Bushy boys. So expect this one coming soon, unless we invade Iran as well.
