Well look, if Dubyah didn't sink untold trillions of dollars into Iraq, the money could have been put to better uses such as energy research. Truth is (and I work in research) that science budgets aren't doing well these days.

Actually the truth behind that is suppose to be Physiological in an effort to force oil producing countries to increase production to lower the prices.
This worked back in the 90s but now is not going to work because we now have the speculators manipulating the oil markets.
Back in the 90s the government even put aside a budget to pursue oil alternatives, after the prices of oil were dramatically reduced the budget was forgotten.

The hidden agenda is simple enough. The democrats and most of the republicans do not work for the American people or for American interests. They largely work for foreign bankers and foreign oilmen IMHO.
