Middle East oil is a joke, perpetrated by DOD

5 millions bbl/day from the Gulf Region --
eia.doe.gov

Which cost an extra $10/bbl for military protection in 1985, no doubt more now --

"One former Defense Department official has estimated that it cost U.S. taxpayers about $47 billion in 1985 alone for military expenditures related to the Gulf"

Plus sucking up 1/2 million bbl/day just for the military presence itself

heritage.org

"In 1996, net imports of oil were about 46 percent of total oil consumption, with approximately 17 percent coming from the Persian Gulf."

"... the 582,000 soldiers in the Persian Gulf War consumed 450,000 barrels of petroleum products each day. It takes eight times more oil to meet the needs of each soldier today than it did during World War II. Further, the Department of Defense accounts for about 80 percent of the U.S. government's energy use"


... And ensures a future of terrorist funding with revenue levels that rival the Pentagon, in a self-perptuating war-generating process, the current episode brought to you by Bush Inc.

"The Department of Energy estimates that Middle Eastern nations could nearly triple their oil revenues by 2010, to $250 billion per year. "

... ensuring the best terrorism that money can buy

Re: Stations who have refused to air the ads are WABC in New York; WDIV in Detroit; and WABC and WCBS in Los Angeles, Huffington said.

WABC-NY is the home of the Rush Limbarf show. This monstrous pimple was created there and has remained there since his ill-bred cloning from the likes of Hanoi Hannah, Tokyo Rose and other propaganda whores.

What a load of crap! I drive an H2. Sucks gas but not like my boat. That gets about 3 gallons per mile. (no I didn't say that backwards). So your saying that because the countries who have largest oil reserves are supporting terrorism, we should avoid doing business with them? You liberals are so fuch'in stupid. What will that do to our economy? I've got a better idea. Why don't we go into these countries who support terrorism and kill their leaders and just take the oil? Oh wait...another patriotic American has already had that idea. Thanks George.
