...yes.. the caspian oil, and other reserves... All this talk of oil. I thought I'd add a couple little tid bits. 1) I had heard a major US diplomat say that both the largest producer and the largest user of oil in the world is one country.. The Soviet Union... The diplomat also said we didn't know how much of that oil was being stored...could be very much. That was said back when they were still the Soviet Union. 2) I worked in the Oil industry many years ago. It was common knowledge in the industry that many new wells that were drilled were also being capped off. These were good wells. The common gossip was that we intended to use the Middle East oil while it lasted, and keep our own oil for later. Especially in case of war. 3) I know there are oil fields in Texas who aren't pumping. All they have to do is start the pumps up to pull more oil from those fields. Please don't think that because an oil pump isn't working is because it has run dry. I'd like to suggest that there is more thought behind buying Middle East oil than having to depend on them.
