British Petroleum took over Amoco. The Board of Director's Meeting will be held in London this month. How many of the oil companie are now foreign owned?
It's up there with the WTC tourist guy photos.
Having had a father involved in the oil industry for over thirty years, I can tell you, you have no idea where you really get your oil. It can pass through many nations. Some sight (snopes I think, but not sure) even mentioned that a high percentage of "Russian" crude is actually Iraqi/Iranian in nature, and so on.
I love snopes, they are one of the truly useful sites on the internet for information.
