where was the planning...

well get ready for another spike in gasoline prices at the pump. Oil prices per barrel have hit a record high this week (as high as $45 pb). just when the prices seemed to stabilize it has hit a new high.
I'm really disappointed to see this even after a significant U.S/U.K presence in the middle east, particularly iraq. accept it or not, I thought U.S presence in iraq is generally good for the global economy, primarily being an alternative for OPEC. no, I don't want to discuss if attacking iraq was right or wrong, I'm just concerned about the consequences.
its more or less now clear that iraqi wmd is more of a myth than a fact. oil was the primary goal, by this time we should have had a drop in the prices (as an end result). was the administration so foolish to think that merely attacking iraq would fill in the coffers? where was the planning.
I know its unreasonable to expect the president to be a master of all trades, but atleast he could have had better advisors.
maybe they could use this as a lesson before they attack iran :)
