This may come as a shock to you, but this isn't about oil. Cheers.I disagree. Just about all human conflict has been over resources. Oil is no different.
To: Mo1
Among other things. The chemicals that bother me involve uranium and plutonium.

While my guess doesn't have quite that narrow a window, I pretty much agree with your assessment. Though I still will stick with my original prediction of post-election to early '03.
To: nunya bidness
Well oil is fungible. So that is not a causus belli in my opinion.

I love it because you two are having a SANE conversation in the middle of all this.

Well, I believe that it would be foolish to say that oil
isn't at least a small part of this conflict. Pragmatism is a solid value in America.
I am more concerned about the threat that Hussein poses to America though.
To: Texasforever
How shaky is much our S. American sources?
To: Torie
Yep .. I hear when you mix them up it can be very dangerous right??

I have a reason for my prediction which won't make any sense to anyone. If it happens, I'll let you know why I chose that weekend. But, I'm usually wrong.
To: Howlin
I'm trying out my "new tone." And this was the only thread with the light on.
To: nunya bidness
No, you are just not drinking with FIJC tonight.

er, make that "more clear".
To: nunya bidness
Sure just do a search on oil imports. I am sure that is about right from earlier discussions.
As to oil fields set ablaze, that really is not that big a deal. It is a pretty routine task to cap a burning well and I now understand through contacts with people still actively involved that as a result of the Gulf war, most well heads have been retrofitted with various devices to isolate the well or in some cases explosive charges that would actually seal the well if tampered with. As to Iraq, if you remember the Russians just signed a 40 billion dollar development program with Iraq. It got a lot of folks upset on the forum but it was NOT a stick in our eye. That 40 billion will be spent regardless of who the government is so Russia is actually positioning for a place at the table, in fact they may actually be the prime nation building force after Saddam joins his virgins.
To: nunya bidness
ROFLMAO.
See there, you made ME laugh. You're off to a good start; you can be a good example to us all!

You should become a NR contributor.
To: Fred Mertz
Hey, ya never know. You may even be a winner of the OBL's final day contest, if we ever actually find out.

Venezuela is a mess right now but the oil is still flowing. It is a very heavy crude though and is expensive to refine but almost all refineries in the US have been refitted to handle it and the price is competitive with the sweet crude from the Middle East.
To: Howlin; nunya bidness
Yes he is.
Nunya is a very intelligent person. What's more, he has a GREAT sense of humor, which I appreciate.
Howlin,
How is that butt-kissing for you? FYI, when I do brown-nose, it is only done sincerely.
