Oil Denomination: The clash between United States
and China starts
India-Defence ^
Posted on 07/04/2005 1:01:07 AM PDT by Srirangan
The oil war is openly declared now and the world shall stand to
witness it. In what seems to be the clash of China and the United
States over Unocal is already having its impact felt all over the world.
United States is a nation driven by the politics of oil and influence. The
mammoth growth of China is a reality and for the first time China is
directly contesting Americas sphere of influence all over the world.
With oil prices touching record high of 60 dollars per barrel the war is
likely to intensify if anything else. But one must not forget that the
United States is in complete control of Iraq and still exercises a
considerable degree of influence over Kuwait and other oil-rich gulf
nations. Similarly America is trying to exert its presence and influence
in Central Asia much to the agony of both China and Russia. The war
is clearly not for the present but for the future. Before we can
understand Indias role in this war, it is important to observe the oil
politics in the world.
China is hunting for oil; petroleum and LNG like a beleaguered dragon
looking for a future treat due to its ever increasing domestic demand
and surging export volumes. So much so that it has tied up with
Russia , Nigeria and other much OPEC nations to ensure continuity of
its oil supplies. China is actively engaging with the Latin American
countries cutting the American influence steadily. The rise of leftist
governments in Latin America which are anti-America has made the
situation a bit friendlier for China.

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
July 1, 2005
Independence Day, 2005
Since July 4, 1776, Americans have experienced freedom's power to overcome tyranny, inspire hope in times of trial, and turn the creative gifts of men and women to the pursuits of peace. Across generations, our Nation has defended and advanced liberty.
The words of our Founding Fathers first guided a country of 4 million souls, yet they put large events in motion. When the Liberty Bell sounded at the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence, one who witnessed the birth of freedom in our country said, "It rang as if it meant something." In our time it means something still. America continues to proclaim liberty throughout the world, and we remain a country full of hope and promise where opportunity thrives, where all stand equal before the law, and where our freedoms are celebrated.
Americans live in freedom because of the enduring power of our ideals. In the midst of World War II, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt reminded our troops that our Nation believes in the "right to liberty under God -- for all peoples and races and groups and nations, everywhere in the world." Today, a new generation of Americans continues to defend our Nation and spread freedom. On this Fourth of July, we honor the brave men and women of our military, and their families, and we express our gratitude for their courage, dedication to duty, and love of country.
Laura and I send our best wishes to all Americans on Independence Day. May God bless you, and may God continue to bless America.
GEORGE W. BUSH

"Israel's new neighbor to be state of Taliban?
Hamas terror group shows signs of hard-line Islamic rule in Gaza"
Posted: July 4, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern
By Aaron Klein © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "GANEI TAL, Gaza With prime minister Ariel Sharon's Gaza evacuation plan drawing closer, and Hamas swiftly gaining power in the area, analysts are worried the terror group will use its gains to impose a Taliban-like Islamist regime neighboring Israel.
The Palestinian Authority announced yesterday it will hold talks with Hamas and other terror groups regarding the possibility of a "national unity government" that will incorporate the various violent factions. PA leaders have repeatedly expressed concern over Hamas' growing popularity on the Palestinian street, particularly in Gaza, where the terror group has made strong showings in local elections.
With PA leader Mahmoud Abbas reportedly weakened in Gaza, Mideast experts have noted Hamas which now fires an average of three rockets or mortars per day at Gaza's Jewish communities is quickly filling the void."

DETROIT - (KRT) -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "He said he volunteered to work for the FBI, but was rejected.
But a federal immigration judge in Detroit last week ordered Obeid jailed pending the outcome of charges that he entered the United States through marriage fraud. He also is being investigated by a federal grand jury.
"When taken altogether, the evidence establishes respondent presents a substantial risk to the national security of the United States," immigration judge Robert Newberry said in a June 22 decision denying Obeid's request to be released on bond. He is being held in the Monroe County Jail."

And a good morning to you FreeperfromNJ.
That's an interesting article.
I'll note that Egypt seems to be cropping up more in the news and on the boards.
Have a good day.
This is the post I was thinking of:
There is a report here about the sabotage of 3 helicopters in
Saudi......reason: they were used in Counterterrorism.
Has translations of terrorist messages and video links.
