After the current "crisis" is over, and
Shell, BP and ExxonMobile have secured their 30-year contracts on Iraqi
oil,
crude prices will likely settle back down to around $20-25 level.

What's the saying--even paranoids have enemies?

Something like that. lol

The Shell/BP/ExxonMobil contracts are in the works as we speak

it's unlikely that the bill will not pass through the Iraqi government more
or less intact. The price projection is based upon historic chart data
