"Live by the sword, die by the sword"

fwiw, I recently sold a Hatteras 45' twin diesel, pretty good mileage... maybe a couple gallons per mile depending on the size party on board -g-

But unfortunately, yes, the billions in oil deals that Bush Senior and co. make while they're kissing Saudis' asses goes directly into the terrorists pockets to help kill Americans like you and me. No way around that factoid.

re: the idea of confiscating oil fields and other gov'ts through the use of "terrorism" and "national security", that's nothing new:

"...In a staff discussion 44 years ago, President Eisenhower described "the campaign of hatred against us [in the Arab world], not by the governments but by the people".

His National Security Council outlined the basic reasons: the US supports corrupt and oppressive governments and is "opposing political or economic progress" because of its interest in controlling the oil resources of the region"
