Gimme some of that North Sea oil. Citgo, BP/Amoco. Gimme some of that North Sea oil, Sunoco, Conoco. Gimme some of that North Sea oil, Sinclair, Phillips 76.

When I pull up to the pump, do I turn into a station that imports from the Middle East or the British North Sea and the Americas? How about you?

Give us a list of Palestinian widows and orphans so Muslims can comply with dictates of not feeding the wrong people," Hooper said.

Lets send Saudi Arabia a copy of the Palenstinian "mayrtrs" list so they will know who should NOT get money. These are young Arabs, often teens, who are being brainwashed into being suicide bombers, they are not normally husbands and fathers. There ususally are NO "widows" or "orphans" left behind, just mothers and fathers and siblings of "jihad" killers.

Again the Bush adminstration, that I helped to vote in and fully supported, sticks its hand in the sand of Saudi Arabia and sees nothing. Saudi Arabia is a supporter of terrorism and should be so treated.

It would take a geologist and bio-chemist to determine the origin of the crap mixture that comes out of gas pumps

BP extracts the Alaskan North Slope oil but immediately trades it to Japan for Peruvian oil so they save shipping costs to the East coast.

Then, they cook it with a little African stuff and some LA goop and sell it under the green and yellow sign.

Colin if you want to be part of a real solution then realize it's all about the money. Stop pretending you can make a deal with Arafat, stop giving his PA organization any money and especially crack down on Saudi Arabia. You can't claim ignorance of this matter anymore-we need action

[Quick Shot]

Can I ask a stupid question?

Do you only collect if you are killed or maimed????????

Not that I am promoting it but doesn't it seem obserd that you collect nothing if you pull off a "successful" operation, where you walk away and your military target is destroyed?????

Am i missing something, what is being promoted here.

Consider the brain power of the martyrs. Then take a look at who is offering rewards.

The so calld martyrs blow themselves up, and the cowards who offer the rewards are way,way,way in the rear of the action.

Pick out the dummies.

I wonder if they will be so generous when these bombers turn their attention to facilities owned by the Royal family of Saudi Arabia.

I think all Saudi visas should be pulled and no Saudis should be permitted into the United States. These people are crazy.

Any family of a bomber should be prosecuted--just as we hold parents accountable for damages caused by their children in this country--the Israelis should be able to deport these families (preferably to Saudi Arabia) and confiscate any property they have and/or one parent should be given 30 years in jail. (Although perhaps both parents should be jailed--they aren't doing a great job at parenting. It is pure and simple child abuse at a level beyond anything we could ever imagine. If a mother put her daughter on the street to turn tricks, we would arrest the mother. These 'parents' are lower than slugs!)

By the way, why are the Saudis being allowed to carry 500 billion in debt. If they have excess cash, then they should be paying back their loans. Their country is not stable--anyone lending them money is putting their companies in jeopardy. It is just a matter of time before they are toppled.

Someone should tell Hooper you get what you subsidize.

Open up the Alaskan Wildlife Area to drilling for gas and oil NOW!!!

Amen! You have stated exactly how I feel.

according to Arabic news agencies and the Saudi Embassy's Web site.

Good for the comPost. Great reporting.

They finally got this in the paper a mere nine days after it was posted here on FR, and only a week after Fox News began covering it.

A quick bible/geography lessen. They will not bomb the dome on the rock. This is very special land to the jewish faith. They will not walk on the land. That Rock is the same rock that Moses stood on and read the ten commandments. By scripture the tablets are still on this land. It is against Jewish law to walk on this land until the tablets are found. This also the spot where the third temple is to be built. Also the same rock that Allah assented to heaven. Small confused world.

Want to know where some of your fuel allowance goes?

By the way, why are the Saudis being allowed to carry 500 billion in debt.

We keep hearing Clintons' speeches about how America needs to share it's wealth with the rest of the world to secure peace (verbal treason), yet they seem to have enough money over there to just throw it around. I'd say they have too much if they're going to waste it the way they are. It's time to cut back on their allowance.

Does anyone see a political solution to this conflict?

It's not a political conflict, it's religious and ideological. War looks more and more like the only option every day.

It doesn't have to be a long war, if those with the superior firepower wouldn't fear using it to make it a short war.

[monkeyshine]

LOL. Excellent point.
