Drudge Report ^

[SamAdams76]

By Bill Gertz: Al Qaeda is seeking recruits in the Middle East for terrorist attacks on oil fields in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in the event of U.S. military action against Iraq, U.S. intelligence officials say... MORE... The al Qaeda recruitment is targeting radical Islamists in Saudi Arabia and Yemen who are willing to conduct suicide attacks and other sabotage against the oil fields outside Iraq, the WASHINGTON TIMES will report on Tuesday. The threats to oil facilities highlight the possibility that military acton will disrupt the flow of oil from the Middle East, where most of the world´s oil originates... Developing...

In a worst case, we'll just put out the fires, but the price could go higher than $3.00 per gallon.

Wonderful. Now we'll all pay $3.00 per gallon. I do hope the Saudis use real troops instead of the Bedouin rejects to protect their fields.

Yogi Berra must write Red's stuff!

Who doesn't get bombed is who paid for the terrorists.

Perhaps Al Qaeda paying back Iran for safe haven.

We'll see.

"I know. Everything is going according to plan....."

Much of it is. Most of the rest wasn't unexpected. I've been warning everyone from the beginning that this stage would be a two front war: on Saddam militarily and against the UN diplomatically. Hardly anyone believe me until the past few weeks.

This fight has been coming for a long time. The UN is the enemy of world peace. It's becone a huge extortion ring that plans to rule the world. It's the seat of the Third Way, One World Government. We can either wrest it back to what it was originally organized for...or else we have to utterly destroy it. Any organization that has played pussyfoot with so many dictators for so many years while SO many people died doesn't deserve to exist.

Every terrorist organization except for Abu Sayyef has UN RESOLUTIONS which they frequently point to...to 'justify' their atrocities. After Clinton played along with the UN for 8 years, we finally have a president, and he does not like what the UN has become.

the asbestos shell would have to weigh alot. those wells flow naturally through pretty big pipe. 3.5 to 7 in. thats 20 to 40 lbs for every lb/in2.. coule be 20,30,100 thousands of pounds required.

its alot chaepaer and easier to do exactly what you brought up with the daisy cutter. they do it alot. it may very
well be the best way to initially get the fire out.
but with only little itty bitty daisy cutters.
still a pretty big boom though.then there's still alot of work to do. hard and still dangerous work.

course if you had to get a dozen at once with scattering al queada personell, the daisycutter would be preferred method.

I get the lighter, but what do you use the pickup for?

"Son, we've got 20,000 employees. 2,000 of them know enough to shut us down with nothing more than a pickup truck and a lighter. The rest could figure it out if they were motivated."

[cake_crumb]

"BTW, this is probably just another ploy put out by Iraqi's to try to scare us off."

...And raise the price of gas. Frankly, after the cluster bomb designed to deliver CW and BW that Blixie conveniently forgot to mention last Friday, and the drone that might fly more than 300 miles, I'm more interested in knowing what weapons of Saddam's Blixie is hiding from the world.

"I get the lighter, but what do you use the pickup for?"

To drive over the french guard at the gate.

Don't know if you are the first one that posted info on this or not, but Drudge is a little late. Heard this much earlier today on Fox or MSNBC.

However, yeah all this going on while we are still pussyfooting around with the (in it for themselves) Chirac, Annan, and the rest of the UN.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Has anyone seen the article where Bush Sr gave a speach and said in it that Bush Jr should go with the UN and not go this alone? It was on the Times UK about a day ago.

So...Al Queda fights for Saddom!

So do the Rats.

[EERinOK]

bingo. you are complety on to it regarding the war has already started.

i think its all planned this way. maybe not from the beginning, but with the way the UN waste is going.

slowly destroying little things have their guys on the run already. does any iraqi other than the true crazies think they have any chance of surviving the onsluaght? no. i am starting to think that sadaam may be doomed from within, and we know it. all the talk about a 72 hour barrage of cruise missles is a diversion to mark the "start of war".

and like you said, meanwhile we are already fighting it and it may be won while france and koffi yuck it up while clueless of what is happening.

"and like you said, meanwhile we are already fighting it and it may be won while france and koffi yuck it up while clueless of what is happening."

Something like that might just be what happens, LOL. It'll serve the UNweenies right, too.

Headed for bed. G'night.

[DontMessWithMyCountry]

Wouldn't it be more of a relief if you could bang Chretian's head against your wall? I know that would make me feel better ;-)

[hoosiermama]

Beware of joggers in the oilfields trying to light their shoes on fire.

ROFLOL Actually fell off my chair laughing.
Oh the imagery!

[marron]

Perhaps Al Qaeda paying back Iran for safe haven.

I would have bet they were subcontracting themselves to Saddam, but wiping out Kuwaiti and Saudi oil under contract to Iran would be a delicious twist in the plot.

But they will have a hard time of it. The Saudi defense forces have no other purpose but to defend the oil installations. If they can't do that, they are a sorry lot.

And Kuwait is going to be tough to operate in. Its rather small, and even after the invasion it will be crawling with US military.

Of course, if there were a serious threat to the Saudi oil fields, we might have to occupy them, to secure them... for the good of humanity.

[socal_parrot]

It's not that easy to destroy an oilfield

I would imagine the US Command has put a soldier or 50 or so around the oil fields just in case.

[SevenofNine]

You know what folks sometime Bill Gertz mess up on stories but I THINK MIGHT BE trust if I read this right and earlier report off Sky news that Saddam plan do scourched Earth reset

[TigersEye]

What does an Islamonazi suicide bomber get for blowing up an oilwell? 72 new Mercedes?
