Sure, Wooderson, whatever.
Let's have a something for whomever...
Tell me...
If an increased supply of cheap oil from Iraq were to come into the country, how could it boost oil company profits (it would likely decrease oil company profits) without benefitting consumers in myriad ways?
What you're proposing is a mythical product that vanishes by yet somehow generates profit without having either a direct or indirect effect on .
Say, though, that all of that oil goes straight into the strategic petroleum reserve. That constitutes a lagtime benefit to consumers as it becomes a hedge against future oil issues. We may not see that benefit today, maybe not tomorrow, but its impact will be felt even if it is simply pumped into a salt dome and the government sits on it.
Or, say that consumers see none of that oil in the form of gasoline or other readily used fractals -- it all goes into the industrial sector -- again, this will promote a positive consumer effect.
But, the fact that the United States isn't siphoning Iraq dry right now, either for immediate use or indirect stockpiling, puts the lie to the claims that this war is solely about oil.
