How come the Iraq War hasn’t brought the American people $20/barrel oil like was initially promised?

trer asked:


I remember Bill O’Reilly and the other conservatives saying that the Iraq War would mean cheap oil for us and it would stimulate the economy. It’s 2008 and oil is $140/barrel. Why?

    because we have a president who doesnt know when to quit in a war, so financing the war, receiving less oil has caused inflationary gas prices.

    How come Americans are at the brunt end of a handful of jokes elsewhere in the world?

    Point is, leader(s) in America break promises so often its a wonder we don’t throw up a New York cabby driver to be president.
