I think if it wasnt for Iraq right now, this NK thing wouldnt be an issue. |
Or that whole, 'Axis of Evil' thing. You know. Being called the evil of the world, I seriously can't understand why they, the North Korean/North Korean Goverment, hates us so much right now. */sarcasm*

well, that was probably one of the most retarded sentences i have heard come out of a politician in recent times.
*warning rant incoming*
Sorry, but if a 5-year old says that, fine, if you are _CURRENTLY_ fighting a war, it's cool, you need to motivate your troops. BUT out of f00king nowhere? Come on! Even I am not stupid enough to make that remark. But Bush is more interested in showing how he was "chosen by god..." blah blah than to make actualy politics.

But you do have a good point about this WMD thing popping up out of no where. Bush is using this war in order to divert public attention toward the "EVIL" part of earth. This would cover up the lagging economy, corporate corruption and other things he is partly responsible for. By controlling the second largest oil deposit in the world,... he will definately improve the nations economy. Other than that... he is no better then the vomit that comes out of a maggot. |
Most of the US oil imports come from Canada, Mexico, and Venezuela. These three countries account for almost 45% of total US imports. There are about 10 other countries supplying between 1% and 5% which total an additional 28% of imports. Beyond that, there are 34 other countries that supply the final 13%. With nearly 50 countries vying to supply the US with oil, it appears that these countries each need the US more than the US needs them. The US is the dominant source of income for most oil producing countries. For most of these countries, oil is their dominant export. If the US did not purchase their fuel, someone else would, but chances are, they would not pay as much.
Oil is frequently cited as one of the primary factors in the US's decisions for action in the middle east. With the gulf supplying less than 20% of the current US imports, and at least 40 other countries capable of supplying oil that are not located in the Persian Gulf region, it doesn't seem to be much in the interests of the US to act in Gulf region solely because it is a source of petroleum. As an energy source, petroleum coming from the Persian Gulf supplies the US with less than 2% of total required BTU's. Cheap oil is also cited as a major motivator when it comes to US decisions; however, the US appears to increase consumption from OPEC countries routinely whenever they raise their prices.
