Does Bush Read The Noble Pundit?

Two days ago, I posted this essay in which I proposed canceling the TotalElfFina contract in favor of Royal Dutch. Now today I read this article in the Times Online in which we are apparently considering turning the entire Iraqi oil industry over to a former official of - get this - Royal Dutch Petroleum!

Now I know that Bush probably doesn't read this nor does any official of the Administration. It just feels good to be ahead of the curve for once. Now if I could only quit looking over my shoulder at the on-rushing tidal wave............

I'll feel even better about this once it gets officially announced - if it's true. In the meantime I've got to go stretch, I think I pulled a muscle patting myself on the back.
