The war commitment insight is very interesting. I would have thought that a scaling back would cause more instability and thus an increase in barrel pricing. But I hadn't thought of the demand implications. Do you have some numbers to support this that you could share or guide me to? I would really appreciate it and would like to post on this. I've also heard about big changes in supply chains (less route/more full truck loads, competitors sharing trucks, increases in now viable distribution centers) that indicate a permanence to the increasing oil prices.

If the USA war commitments are scaled back appreciably, especially Iraq, the decrease in petro demand will have an important impact on commodity prices, perhaps 10.00 barrel.
