OT OT OT Re: If we can't trust the guys arithmetic, should we trust any of his other "facts"? I'm afraid you should.... LOL! Thanks for the laugh. His math still sucks. And the article is thereby is completely misleading. There's lots of fancy C.V.s attached to the utterly discredited. Just look at Ken Lay's, for example. **** Notice how this spinmeister conflates statements in the typical Bait-and-Switch style of the Bushistas: The US currently obtains about 15.3% of its crude oil imports from West Africa and Africa as a whole has proven reserves of about 80 billion barrels of oil. Most of that oil comes from West Africa. Huh? Reserves don't "come" from anywhere. Reserves are, by definition, in situ. What does "come" our way is no longer reserves, it's lifted (or depleted, in tax parlance) oil. And that is what comes from West Africa to the Texas refineries. Not African reserves. *** I'm afraid I'm getting tired of discussing this topic with you, Gus. If you don't have the decency to admit to math errors, then, for heaven's sakes, what is the basis for an honest discussion? Goodbye
