I did some digging. Pravda and this conspiracist website carried the story, but they obviously aren't reliable:

english.pravda.ru
americandefenseleague.com

This website denied it, but it is obviously not too reliable either (looks like one of Haim's bookmarks -g-):

usajewish.com

But then I found this, which looks official:

pgr.gob.mx

(use Babelfish: babel.altavista.com

len,

Good post. Historically, America has always tried to destabilize other countries politically and economically, all in the name of national security. Oil is at the top of the list, and it would be no surprise to me if some scheme hatched by the NSC involved Mossad. The trouble with many vehement patriots working in such institutions, is that when field ops get underway, they often act before they think - shades of Oly North:-)). Thankfully, this usually leads to failed missions.

I stated earlier that in addition to the North Sea, Saudi oil fields are officially in decline, and the decline side of the production curve is always steep. There is no doubt that the politics of oil in the Caspian, Middle East, Russia, Canada and elsewhere in the world (ie. Mexico, Venezuala) will be at centre stage for a number of years ahead. When you consider that 25% of refined deisel fuel consumed by America comes from Venezualan refineries, and the Venezualan oil fields are getting old too, oil south of the Rio Grande must be high on the agenda. Oil is also the reason why America is trying to find reasons and excuses to go into Iraq, other than naked aggression.
