Why the US didn't take Kuwaiti or Saudi oil?
First off, they don't have to, as the US pretty much gets what it wants from those countries. However, Iraq is quite different. Please read and let me know what you think about 526-1?
>>>Take a look at the statistics on the ratio of reserve to oil production ? the number of years that reserves of oil will last at current production rates ? compiled by Jeremy Rifkin in Hydrogen Economy. In the US, where more than 60 per cent of the recoverable oil has already been produced, the ratio is just 10 years, as it is in Norway. In Canada, it is 8:1. In Iran, it is 53:1, in Saudi Arabia 55:1, in the United Arab Emirates 75:1. In Kuwait, it's 116:1. But in Iraq, it's 526:1. And this forthcoming war isn't about oil?<<<

I suppose another consideration is that if Bush is gonna go off fighting all of these wars he's gonna need some oil, eh? |
