Terrorism, Oil and the Democratics

Isn't it wonderful that we have the Democratics to thank for the 60% U.S. dependency on foreign oil.

Isn't it wonderful we have the Democratics to thank for the prospect of the Islamic OPEC countries cutting off large portions of our vital oil supplies when we retaliate against the radical nations that use terrorism as a matter of state policy. This cutoff and subsequent economic breakdown constitutes the second wave of terror planned by our attackers.

Will the Democratics take responsibility for the potentially debilitating economic conditions that will face the U.S. and the world over probable OPEC cutoffs?

Or do you think the Democrat spin doctors, aided and abetted by the main stream media, will blame Bush?

Don't blame the Democrats for causing this attack. Republicans and Democrats and disagree on many issues, including oil policy. However, terrorism needs a united response from all Americans.

You are missing the point. The second phase of this terrorism is going to be an cutoff of oil by one or more Arab states.

Our dependance on foreign oil is undeniable. Our economy will suffer, Americans will be unemployed.

There will be no soft landing.

How to respond from a cut off or oil from OPEC: If we do not get oil from you, we will send you the missiles you did not order. It is time to put the Middle East Islamic states on notice -- choose your side but choose carefuly.

"The second phase of this terrorism is going to be an cutoff of oil by one or more Arab states."

What are the percentages as far as how much oil the US buys from Arab States and non-Arab States?
