"Maybe you missed the discussion. It was about Saudi Arabia, " MSI....I appreciate your outrage over our purchases of Saudi oil and your argument that some of those proceeds are no doubt wind up supporting terrorists who are training to attack us. But Neocon's arguments are also valid in that he points out how totally dependent we are on oil imports and will only become more dependent in the years to come; not withstanding any drilling in ANWR. The Saudi's sell us about 1.5 million barrels of crude a day, which would be hard to make up,but I've wondered why we aren't buying from Russia, which has the supplies and who are ostensibly our ally in the war against terrorism. What bothers me even more is why we buy fully 40% of the crude oil production of our sworn enemy, the charter member of the axis of evil....Iraq. Here is a country we are openly planning to invade and who we accuse of manufacturing and selling weapons of mass destruction including bio, chemical, and nuclear types. We currently are purchasing about 700,000 barrels of crude/day from Saddam!!!!
