Good point.
Another layer: Something else that frustrates me about Bush is his affinity for racking up massive spending deficits each year. Could the conspiracy theory extend there, along the lines of, hey, if we're going to be running out of oil in the very near future anyway, we might as well spend like crazy, borrow as much as we can, get the oil for as long as we can, and push back the crash as long as we possibly can -- hopefully beyond our lifetimes?
