er....

Actually I saw the typo (or whatever you'd call it) too... Knew it was gonna be picked apart.

Here's from the US government department of energy site:

"Imports/Exports
Slightly lower U.S. crude oil production in 2000, combined with slightly increased oil demand, led the United States to import (gross) an estimated 11.5 MMBD of oil (crude and products) during 2000, representing around 58% of total U.S. oil demand. Around 45% of this oil came from OPEC nations, with Persian Gulf sources accounting for about 22% of U.S. oil imports during the year. Overall, the top suppliers of oil to the United States during 2000 were Canada (1.81 MMBD), Saudi Arabia (1.57 MMBD), Venezuela (1.55 MMBD), and Mexico (1.37 MMBD). "

Can't even remember why I posted the graph in the 1st place... I guess to dispell a myth that the US is completely dependent on those nutcases for oil.

Oh no, Nash. The U.S. isn't dependent on that oil. The Bush's are dependent on pissant 3rd world countries to raise their approval ratings.

You watch... the day Dubya gets a 20% approval rating is the day he drops a nuke.

Our true enemy is:

the fundamentalist Muslim movement

Hussein is well known for his hatred of Muslim fundamentalists, and his attack on Iran in 1980 was partially to stop the influence of Ayatollah Khomeini's Islamist revolution in Iraq.

All religious fundamentalism is an enemy of peace, not only the Islamic faith. Northern Ireland shows than even similar faiths connot live in peace together.

I agree with Tronski.

Now let's start talking about nuking Christian fundamentalists as well.

But wait a minute, they are generally white, speak English and are Western!! Oh my!! How the hell are we going to lump them into one incomprehensible, foreign, homogeneous mass!?

The truth is that religion is often used as an excuse for actions when the real motivation for absurdity is simply good old fashioned territory and wealth.

In NI for instance, the IRA is now a huge drug peddling organisation using punishment beatings and kneee-capping as means to enforce its authority.

I a bit late to this. But 8ball is right in the reason that Saddam was left in place. I was with the 101st in the Guld War. The week before the ground war was launched, our Platoon Leader briefed us each day on what the plan was and out part in it. And we were told that it wasn't part of the plan to take out Saddam. The thought was that if he was taken out, he had killed anyone that looked liked they were a threat to him, no one was left to take over from him. We thought that Iran could of taken over Iraq after he was gone. Tom Clansey in 1 of his book had it part of his book.
So it was thought of long before the war begain and finished.

growing, getting stronger and nutty by the day ... this is our future enemy of WW3. As soon as they get armed with modern technology, the rest of the free world will have a huge problem.

Our push should be on the Cristian leaders to condem the nutbags extremists of that religion <- chase them out of town. They seem pretty mute about the whole thing - wonder why ...
