I often wonder if Bush is practising patience in regards to Peakoil. Now, I am certainly not in favor of the '3 Days of the Condor' scenario where 99% of the Peakoil ignorant masses are propagandized into the wild screaming for the 'Nuke their Ass--I want Gas' mindset.
But my wild imagination sometimes speculates that the seemingly unstoppable nuclear collision with Iran will be the turning point in our leadership and the mainstream media. The President will go on TV to say military ops against Iran has commenced because of Peakoil and he will refer everyone to govt websites and freely available pamphlets explaining the 'Official' reasons for Peakoil. The MSM will totally reinforce this suddenly 'new' leadership disclosure to the shocked & awed general public.
The totally surprised masses will hurriedly read this misinfo, and the critical mass to create a 'No Thanks--I like Empty Tanks' mindset will be purposely precluded from ever forming. The transformation of our economy into a total war-machine will be remarkably swift, but totally futile in the long run.
