They should impeach Arnie - after all, he owns 90% of their production stock

Leave Arnie out of this, he's the perfect embodiment of Alpha Male packaged in a metromale wrapping.

That's true - Bush didn't finish the job he started - but the point is, Bush is gone, this is Obama's watch and it's all his fault now!

Indeed it is.

As Borat would say - Obama has failed to "drink the blood of every man, woman and child of Iraq".

... the USA imports 2/3 of our oil needs.

And most of the oil is from the Middle East.

From http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petrole...nt/import.html:

I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. No...the USA does not import most of our oil directly from the Middle East. However, most of the substantial reserves of oil lay under the Middle East. The oil market is one pool of oil that acts like a domino. Middle East oil does effect the entire oil market. Knock out Saudi and Iranian oil production and see what happens to the price of oil and the world economy that depends on it.

Very interesting!

According to http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/international/reserves.html... citing the Oil and Gas Journal 1/1/2009. World reserves are 1342 billion barrels of oil. 210 of that is in North America. 123 in South/Central America. 99 in Eurasia. 746 in the Middle East. 117 in Africa. 34 in Asia/Oceania.

So 55% of the world reserves are in the ME. Another 25% in North, Central and South America.

From http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petrole...nt/import.html:

Here is the top heading of your table, these are the countries the USA is importing oil from.

"Crude Oil and Total Petroleum Imports Top 15 Countries

February 2009 Import Highlights: April 14, 2009

Preliminary monthly data on the origins of crude oil imports in February 2009 has been released and it shows that two countries exported more than 1.20 million barrels per day to the United States. Including those countries, three countries exported over 1.00 million barrels per day of crude oil to the United States (see table below). The top five exporting countries accounted for 64 percent of United States crude oil imports in February while the top ten sources accounted for approximately 84 percent of all U.S. crude oil imports. The top sources of US crude oil imports for February were Canada (1.913 million barrels per day), Mexico (1.219 million barrels per day), Saudi Arabia (1.135 million barrels per day), Venezuela (.962 million barrels per day), and Angola (0.671 million barrels per day). The rest of the top ten sources, in order, were Iraq (0.519 million barrels per day), Nigeria (0.457 million barrels per day), Brazil (0.365 million barrels per day), Kuwait (0.251 million barrels per day), and Ecuador (0.243 million barrels per day). Total crude oil imports averaged 9.203 million barrels per day in February, which is a decrease of (0.649) million barrels per day from January 2009.

Canada remained the largest exporter of total petroleum in February, exporting 2.512 million barrels per day to the United States, which is a decrease from last month (2.544 thousand barrels per day). The second largest exporter of total petroleum was Mexico with 1.364 million barrels per day."

Looks like about 33% of are oil is imported from the middle east, sounds high, last year was more like 10% and none from Iraq that is up to 7% according to that table. Our imports from Venezuela are way down from last year, we were at 30% with them, no wonder why Chavez is being nice to us.

Heard we are spending 1 billion a month in Iraq and escalating the terrorist against us and the same in Afghanistan, these are opinions expressed by so-called experts. But if we are in Iraq to get oil, paying an additional 2,000 bucks per barrel for it, not a very good bargain.

From http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petrole...nt/import.html:

If it's all about oil, then it is obviously time to invade Canada and Mexico.

Peoples that do not possess or control strategic resources are at the mercy of those that do. And in the case of the USA...we are forced to meddle in affairs and be put into positions we do not want to be in.

Can you say, "I-R-A-Q"? Can you say, "K-U-W-A-I-T"?

But far be it from me to state the obvious to people that feel they are entitled to $2 a gallon gasoline as if it is some sort of constitutional right guaranteed by the government.

What's so bad about having a civil war? We had one here, it takes brother killing brother to make one realize there has to be a better way to settle differences. Look how anti-war Japan and Germany are today, they wouldn't be that way if they didn't suffer that mass destruction, loss of loved ones, starvation, and complete loss of homes.

You can tell someone not to put their hand in a pot of boiling water, but they really don't learn until they do that themselves.

Is Iraq and Afghanistan a USA problem or a world problem? While Reagan may take credit for destruction of the Soviet Union, I favor the historian view that Afghanistan destroyed that Union, and can toss in China, all those satellite countries around the old Russia, East Germany, North Viet Nam, and North Korea. Bush had this bug so he claimed about spreading democracy, but can be viewed no differently than the Soviets wanting to spread so-called communism. And a democracy cannot exceed if the majority of it's citizens are idiots, my God, we have enough idiots here to deal with let alone take on the whole world.

27 guys came here the FBI knew about, warned the CIA, and they didn't do nothing, just another example of how our agencies are killing us. Our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan are only increasing the number of terrorists. And these potential terrorists are not dealing with good American families, but with idiots like you meet in the USCIS or other government agencies that think they are God Almighty himself.

If the women in the middle east can't get together to stand up for their own rights, that is their problem, not ours, if their men kill them all off, they may eventually discover that would be the end of their civilizations. At times I feel the worse people in this world are the do-gooders always sticking their big fat noses in other peoples problems and getting the rest of us in hot water as well.

We can't even solve our own problems, so what makes us experts in solving other peoples problems?
