11/15/07 "ICH" -- -- You'd think George Bush would get down on his knees and kiss Hugo Chavez's behind. Not only has Chavez delivered cheap oil to the Bronx and other poor communities in the United States. And not only did he offer to bring aid to the victims of Katrina. In my interview with the president of Venezuela on March 28, he made Bush the following astonishing offer: Chavez would drop the price of oil to $50 a barrel, "not too high, a fair price," he said — a third less than the $75 a barrel for oil recently posted on the spot market. That would bring down the price at the pump by about a buck, from $3 to $2 a gallon.
But our President has basically told Chavez to take his cheaper oil and stick it up his pipeline. Before I explain why Bush has done so, let me explain why Chavez has the power to pull it off — and the method in the seeming madness of his "take-my-oil-please!" deal.
Venezuela, Chavez told me, has more oil than Saudi Arabia. A nutty boast? Not by a long shot. In fact, his surprising claim comes from a most surprising source: the U.S. Department of Energy. In an internal report, the DOE estimates that Venezuela has five times the Saudis' reserves.
Checkout the video hosted by Greg Palast at "The Assassination of Hugo Chavez". I gather Bush certainly wouldn't want him to do this he and his oil buddies would have too much to lose.
Oil wells in Texas have been capped in '75 to drive up oil prices and the same with Iraq to slow production. However, what has so far happened gas prices are high still and the oil companies and Bush's friends make a bundle STILL!
Do you think this is something the US would want or even allow?
