Here it is!

[set the record straight]

I suggest that if they use oil as a weapon that we make certain that it is equally applied throughout the world by stopping all the flow of oil to europe and asia as well. lets see if they can eat or drink oil. Their economies are already too dependent on their oil sales and they would flounder in a "black sea' of hurt.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Now, name the Americans who are on the side of Iraq on using oil as a weapon against America/Americans.

Yes, we can start with:

Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, AlGore, Tom Daschle, etc, etc, etc, .......just name all the leaders of the Demonratic party and you have a good list of American enemies within this country.

We must increase domestic production of oil and do it fast. Anyone standing in the way of such oil production is an enemy of America and is siding with terrorist and terrorist states and with all who want America crushed and Americans destroyed.

Speaking of which - I want a bumper sticker that says:

Democrats are a Threat to America!

Well at least the friggin caribou would be safe in ANWR.

Saudi Arabia and other major producers of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) have made clear they have no intention of repeating the earlier oil embargo that severely hit Western economies

I'm sure that has something to do with:
1. Russia now being the world's largest petroleum producer.
2. The possibilities at ANWR.

Stopping the flow of oil from the gulf would only make it easier for europe to find it's spine, and (regrettably) most of the gulf states know that. There may be alot wrong with the house of Saud, but the one thing they have always managed to do is keep the oil flowing.

[gcraig]

Buy oil from Russia. Bush and Putin's strategy would be brilliant at this point. Stop the flow of American dollars into the Arab terrorist nations -- and that includes Saudi Arabia!

[glockmeister40]

These arabs don't have the guts to stop the oil - they need the cash.

[Dustbunny]

I was wondering when they were going to try and pull this.

The dems fiddle with allowing us to drill for our own supply of oil while the American public become fodder for the Marxist enviro movement and the Islamic terrorists.

[HELLRAISER II]

I hope Tom Dasshole is listening, we better start our own oil fields & do it soon or we can just invade their oil fields and claim them for our own. Yeah that sounds like a better idea, let's give these b@stards something that is true to complain about.

[Dr.Deth]

The Arab world may or may not use oil as a weapon.

Of course, America may or may not use weapons as a weapon.

Choose wisely, tablecloth-tops.

We only get 18.7% from the Middle East (October 2001). The only thing that would happen if they cut off the oil is it would make us madder and more determined. Saddam has no clue of what he speaks or the mood America is in.

[wheezer]

There may be alot wrong with the house of Saud, but the one thing they have always managed to do is keep the oil flowing.

Agreed.

If your statistic is correct, you have a point...but I think you are missing something...

CONSUMER CONFIDENCE

Even though we don't depend 100% on mid east oil...what would happen to oil prices? Consumer Confidence?

2/3 of the US Economy is consumer confidence driven!

Just a thought.

"Iraq has called on Arab states to use oil as a weapon to punish countries supporting Israel and to stop the Jewish state's current military action against Palestinians."

Ah, Mr. Daschle--explain to me again why you are blocking the president's proposed energy plan from reaching the Senate floor?
