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.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

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.

[sanchmo]

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.

WIth spring just around the corner of DAISY cutters blooming on the horizon.

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.

[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.

[Right_in_Virginia]

"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?

[RetiredArmy]

Ok. Everyone conserve. Save a gallon a week. Dash-hole says this will work. No need to panic. We can do it. No need to drill in Alaska. We will be fine. Gas will only go up to about $7.50 per gallon. We will survive.

This came in an email from a fire-fighting, gun-toting, buddy of mine. Perhaps some FReepers might find the info interesting:

Nothing is more frustrating to me than the feeling that every time I fill up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family and my friends. It turns out that oil companies import a lot of Middle Eastern oil and others do not import any. I thought it might be interesting for Americans to know which oil companies are the best to buy their gas from.

Top five companies that import Middle Eastern oil for the period 9/1/00 to 8/31/01. (By the way, 86% of all Middle Eastern Oil comes from Saudi Arabia and Iraq.)

1. Shell: 7,420,000 barrels of oil
2. Chevron/Texaco: 144,332,000 barrels of oil
3. Exon/Mobil: 130,082,000 barrels of oil
4. Marathon" 117,740,000 barrels of oil
5. BP Amoco: 62,231,000 barrels of oil

If you do the math at $30 per barrel, these imports amount to about $18 billion. That's a lot of money.

The following large companies do not import much, if any, Middle Eastern oil.

1. Citgo: 0 barrels of oil
2. Sunoco: 0
3. Conoco: 0
4. Sinclair: 0
5. Phillips: 0

All of the information is available from the Department of Energy and can be easily documented. Refineries located in the U.S. are required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. They report on a monthly basis.

Share it with your friends....and stop paying for terrorism!

[Zulu Warrior]

Thanks a lot, all of you religious whackos that put Israel first over the US. $5/gallon coming soon, thanks to our defense of a bunch of land grabbing Nazis.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]
