Boone was negotiating with Kurdistan for the rights to the oil fields in the north of Iraq? Is he talking out of both sides of his mouth? He seems to be pushing for alternative power [wind in West Texas] and at the same time finegaling in Kurdistan to get rights to drill, drill, drill for fossil fuels. This "Swift Boat" Texan is not to be believed. He is the consummate deceiver. Didn’t I just read that recently, under the shade of secrecy, that T.

Had we suspended the summer formulation requirement instead, as I suggested <a href="http://www.liberalcapitalist.com/blog/192" title="The real thing" rel="nofollow">here</a>, then consumers would have saved much more 18.4 cents per gallon and the Federal government would actually have made more money since more gas would be sold.   yours/ peter.
