Lease: Big oil forgets, big time

By Daryl Lease

I may be all alone on this one, but I'm worried about the economic health of the nation's oil companies. Deeply worried, in fact.

A bit of background on why: The Washington Post recently reported that it has obtained a White House document showing that officials from the oil industry participated in Vice President Dick Cheney's super double-secret, triple-lockdown, eat-all-your-notes-before-you-leave-the-room energy task force four years ago.

Yeah, I know. What a shock.

2. when the public finally connects dots from energy task force to Iraq...

the oil companies will get what they deserve, just like Standard Oil at the turn of the last century.

What's going to get them in even deeper shit is in between those meetings and the Iraq War was 9/11, the Bush excuse for invading Iraq.

Oil task force then 9/11 then Iraq War. There's no chance they're related is there?
