Your point is taken but what has Mark really done these past few years? Really. We are right where we started back in March of 2008 and we were running out of cash. We are right in the same postion 21 months later. How can we call Bruner the genius here. He's flexed his muscle and Exxon has balked. He played poker (with the great poker face that he has) and exxon called his bluff. They're walking and we are in dire straits. And we are supposed to be grateful that he's still the leader.
