I've posted several links on the State of the Union link that discuss some of the oil related issues and why France/Russia are so reluctant to sign on to this conflict. Interesting reading.

About the PP poles - I find it very revealing that the State of the Union speech had about a 52% approval rating for Bush, and Powell is running over 90%. Either people don't trust Bush as much, they trust Powell more, or it just took hearing the evidence put forth in a convincing way to sway the readers of this site.
