Bin Laden never mentioned oil, as far as I know. I can't think of any reason, other than oil, why the U.S. would keep troops stationed in Saudi Arabia. And this is what prompted his jihad against America. Do you yourself believe that these schemings of Western powers exist? Well, yes, I believe the 1990 Gulf War actually happened. The oil is solidly in the hands of the governments of the oil countries. The price depends on world market prices which these countries try to force upwards. Do you know why the CIA overthrew the Iranian government and installed a dictator (who became one of the biggest human rights violators in the world) in 1953? Because Iran was making rumblings about nationalizing their oil fields. Why did they consider this? Because Iran was collecting less from their oil than the British government was collecting in taxes on the profits of the drilling company!!! Tom
