"If the US attacks Iraq, oil prices in the world market will not go up, because the United States will use its oil resources not to allow a sudden jump in oil prices", Zangeneh said in an interview with the paper.
On Tuesday, Kuwait's acting oil minister, Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, said in Moscow that the OPEC cartel would likely raise its oil production should the United States launch a military campaign aimed at unseating Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq.
"If a war is launched, then the OPEC countries are prepared to compensate for any potential loss of (Iraqi) production owing to the emergency situation," the Kuwaiti minister said.
There is our signal to attack.
The Arab Governments blathering about not invading Iraq is for their domestic consumption only. The Oil Ministers just told us that our play would be backed where it counted.

I agree there .. I'm sure there are some that are on Iraqs side .. but I'm guessing there are even more on our side silently cheering us on ..
Did you see Brit Humes last night and also on Gretta's show .. Kenneth Adleman .. he was good
Yes he was. The administration should be pushing people like this to get out in front and keep the media from changing peoples minds.

And we all KNOW that baking isn't her forte. LOL!
Yes we did ..
Being a FReeper going back to Septemer '98, and heavily involved with establishing Operation America as an activist organization affiliated with Free Republic, and with following politics, I didn't pay much attention when y'all made the exodus. Eventually though, I kept seeing this 'Basecamp" stuff, so I clicked on see what it was all about.
There were sure a lot of posts and posters, but I couldn't make heads nor tails out of what was going on, so that was that--until this past February.
Reflecting back, there was a lot of people on those threads, some of which I've pinged to here that I have met out in the forum while others are just names I remember from reading the old stuff or their having been mentioned or pinged on FReeople threads. Anyways, sitting here and reflecting back on the great numbers of people that don't post at the FReeoples thread, the obvious questioning 'why' surfaces.
Did these seemingly fine people leave as a part of the process where they were spreading their wings (no pun intended, Wings ol' fella) and learning to fly or see the rest of the world....or were they driven out as was obviously attempted to be done to me? And was being attempted against Sweetliberty? Was the back-stabbing and back-biting being done by the southern Christian hypocrit towards me and some of the remnant gang, also done to the 'old gang'?
The silence was oh so deafening as many sat back and watched the latest go round without a murmur. Does everyone not think that if the southern Christian hypocrit was doing the backbiting and backstabbing to me and/or to others, that the damn knife wouldn't be headed your way soon.....do you honestly think cause you were a 'friend' that it wouldn't? Information I've gotten indicates that even Ringy had been stabbed at a couple of times.
Sure seems a shame that what was a huge group of friends dwindled in less than a year to maybe a dozen or so.....and somehow it just can't be discussed in public so as to prevent any such goings on from happening in the future.
'OMG', I can just visualize some of y'all saying, er thinking, 'how can she be talking like this?" Well, there's many of y'all I've come to like and wish the best, If I didn't, I'd never had said a word--just walked away like a lot of the rest of your friends.
Ya know what? It's a gut-wrenching experience, boggling the mind really, to be given 'excuses' for what was allowed to happen because someone either wouldn't/couldn't stand up to the SCH and then have strangers you've never dialogued with apologizing for what happened to you.
Yeah.....there's something wrong in this world! Thing is.....no one wants to look in their own mirror to glimpse what part of the problem is.
