If the gobermint is really, really against terrists, why are they harboring them? A couple of names to google - Luis Posada Carriles and Emmanuel Constant. It's really nice to know terrorists live among us, while gobermint is busy doing their thing. I'll be damned if we don't overthrow the goberments of Iran and Venezuela real soon. It's our resposibility to protect world from terrists, and anyone who watches FoxNews knows that any oil-rich country that threatens the Bush crime family oil monopoly is automatically guilty of harboring terrists. And after we are done with Iran and Venezuela, nothing to prevent the Bush gang from getting price of gas to double digits. Exxon will be next Haliburton, if I wasn't disgusted I'd load up on their shares now...
It is a fact that Bush is only out for oil. There are dreadful things happening on other places in the world, such as in Darfur. But they dont send troops there...no, just to Iraq for those WMDs!
Of course it's all about oil! That's why oil imports haven't increased (except for standard increasing demand) and oil sources haven't changed in the past 8 years at all! Ah, how I was mistaken!
It's not about how much they import, it's about the price. When they are the only game in town, they will set any price they want. They are cornering the market There are some aweful things taking place in countries like North Korea, Cuba, etc... China is murdering religious dissidents. Opposition leaders have been disappearing in Belarus. You won't hear about it on Fox News, there is no money in protecting the world from oil-poor countries...
I have to say I am leaning towards AGS' thinking. Gtech and his gang seem to be full of American media garbage
Agrees with Luozade111 and Ags, it seems like gtech and his gang will blindly follow every piece of info they get from their government whether its right or wrong when its been proven time and time again( mossadegh among others) that or foreign policy has been about teh consolidation of power and not spreading freedom or democracy .

GTech, you're so popular - I'm proud to be part of your gang! Anything the ignorant liberals hate must be good, right?
Ah, well, I'm glad you're here to enlighten me with the truth. (Sorry for the triple post. I just have so much fun doing this!)
I hate to barge into a moonbat fest fraught with conspiracy and made up opion to introduce some facts, but.... $765,800 in income, of which about $200,000 comes with the salary of POTUS, strongly contests this "Bush/oil" theory. Of course, for some, facts do not matter. Right ping/ags? Hate to further burst your bubble about Darfur, but it is extremely rich in oil. If your "theory" about oil were correct, we'd be there too. It's not like muslims are not slaughter infidels daily there. That would be alex jones thinking. AGS lets AJ do his thinking for him. Projectionism. In fact, the reality is, you, AGS and the others who are insecure and have low self-esteems, believe in every conspiracy that comes around, regardless of rational thinking and facts. As a defense mechanism, you assert that others believe everything told to them by the big bad media/gobmint while holding on to unsourced conspiracies. Not a single source provided here. It baffles science! Here I am working on a web design and cooking up some of my famous, mouth watering, Chili for dinner tonight and low and behold, I discover I have a gang! I suppose I should hop on over to the "queer eye for the straight guy" website and have them pick out some gang colors for "us" (whoever "us" are)!
what FACT would that be?? You make a claim like that, you better have evidence to back it up...unless you are a part of the AGS gang for idiotic conspiracy theories...then we know you will never be able to produce a fact.
Sudan (Darfur area) only has proven 560 million barrels of oil (estimated maximum of 5 billion barrels) Iraq has 112.5 billion barrels proven My maths is pretty bad but even I can see the huge difference - cant you GTech?? d16man - Maybe you should take a look here - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/4354269.stm (sorry, it's not from Fox!)
So Darfur oil isn't any good? Is that your math(s)? It's a non-argument. I didn't say one had more than the other, I said Darfur is rich in oil. It is and I thank you for providing unsourced information confirming it is. BTW, just took a photo of that delicious Chili I'm cooking up. Always like to back my claims up with sources
Here is the source (just for you GTech) - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/04/23/wsud23.xml Maybe the reason the US didnt get involved there is because China is already there and they cant afford a confrontation with the 1 billion strong Chinese army.
the article you presented does not contain any facts...all it contains is pure speculation and opinion...where are the FACTS??? BTW, did you notice that this article was also written to promote a short film that was shown on the BBC?? hmm....
Maybe space aliens will invade Taco Bell. Thank for confirming again, it's a conspiracy and you do not know. China is in the Sudan to stop islamists from slaughtering infidels? I didn't see that in the article at all. They are just doing business? Oh, the humanity!
