While doing my morning browsing, I saw this:
In a 1998 interview, Osama bin Laden ... listed as one of his many grievances against the U.S...
...The real price of a barrel of oil should be $144, bin Laden demanded.
Are he and W perfect soul mates or what? Or maybe he and Cheney, who in 1986 said:
''Let us rid ourselves of the fiction that low oil prices are somehow good for the United States,'' Mr. Cheney, who is now vice president, said...
Well, another Mission Accomplished, I guess.
