OPEC Debate Mistakenly Televised

18-11-2007 22:27

Now if this would just happen at Bilderberg, G8, G7, etc ...

Another call to eliminate the US dollar as the oil-trading currency. Perhaps one motive behind US plots against Iran and Venezuela?

When you consider the result, the amount this was a mistake is debatable.

"The weakness of the dollar is one reason why oil prices are so high"

Perhaps one reason Bush/PNAC has worked so hard to destroy their own currency?
