Yes, oil ... of course ... but ...!!!

Normally, I don't respond to comments in new postings, but I surely don't want you all left with the impression that I thought that the only matter/item in common between Venezuela and Iran was their dislike of the US. Of course, they both have oil, Sage, but that is not a common item of interest to either of them inasmuch as they both have enough to last till the end of this millennium -- as regards their own usage of it. What they can and are doing together to the glee of both is to pull our short hairs. The "oil investment" agreements are only a way to get Mr. Bush's attention through his minders and other oil barons.
