Is it just me, or has every damn thread for the past week or so eventually transformed into a discussion about gay sex? Sometimes with pictures…
Enough already!

It’s hard to take you seriously when you use such phrases as “your brother terrorist Muslims”. I’ll overlook it this one time nonetheless.
You got it all backwards. The sequence of events is uncontroversial. Your invasion presented Islamists with an excuse to be in Iraq - NOT the other way 'round.[/quote]
You aren’t getting it. My point is that, excuse or not, do they have to fall for the trap? Is anyone making them go and fight in Iraq? No! If they didn’t take the bait and not go to fight in Iraq, Bush would loose. He would have nothing to say about it being “a haven for terrorists”.
But because the terrorists did take the bait, they are helping Bush. But they are too stupid and headstrong to get that. They are all passion and no brains. That is why it is so important that we get technology going that is not fossil fuel based. Because that is the only way these idiots get money. Without oil, they would be back throwing rocks at each other instead of missiles.

Very untrue. The USA would sell arms to them. Where would they get the money? Where they do today: contributions made to arab causes.

And where do the Arabs get the money? Duh, oil! Wake up! The middle east is a shit-hole and has no major resources other than oil. If they can�??t sell the oil they got squat!

I apologize; I should have indicated that you have to exceed a double-digit IQ to understand my posts. Maybe next time have someone else a little smarter explain it to you so you won’t be so confused.
We need to quit worrying about everyone else in the world and take care of ourselves. All the jobs are leaving here , education is going to hell in a basket and forclosures are at their highest.
Oh yeah and gas isn’t going down. All this money wasted could have improved “this country” drastically. We need to resolve our own issues before resolving others. Isolationism is the answer, let China and India worry about the world.

Interesting. I was thinking of all those “help build a mosque” for muslim brothers causes that can be found here in the US, started by, you guessed it - muslims. When a bleeding heart gives them money, is that from oil?
You probably thought the IRA was solely funded by potato sales, too.

A conspiracy theory hardly needs an IQ of greater than 69.

How many people actually give to those Muslim causes? You really think that is how the terrorists are funded? And you really think none of the BILLIONS from the OPEC profits find they way into terrorist hands? That’s very naive thinking young man!

Oil Graft Fuels the Insurgency, Iraq and US Say

Billions in Oil Missing in Iraq, US Study Finds
The New York Times
12 May 2007
Between 100,000 and 300,000 barrels a day of Iraq’s declared oil production over the past four years is unaccounted for and could have been siphoned off through corruption or smuggling, according to a draft American government report…

Meanwhile Chevrolet is trying to BS everybody into thinking the technology for efficient, long-range electric cars is decades away. Their concept/prototype goes a whopping 40 miles on a charge.
“This major advancement in existing technology will make it possible for those short, up to 40-mile or less commutes to be gasoline-free.”
All the while the electric Tesla and Mini already have a range of about 250 miles on a single charge.
Oil should already be a dead issue.

Did you read those links? The electric Mini does not exist. They are looking for investors so they can build one.
The compressed air car is a death trap because it weighs almost nothing and has no structural integrity.
There is no magic solution. We need oil.
Edit: They built some sort of prototype but have not operated it yet in a meaningful manner. All the stats listed are “predicted” or “designed to”, not real operational data.
It is all fictitious marketing bullshit so they can find sucker investors. I suggest you send them a check right away.

That little Tesla Roadster is sweeeet. Now, if Tesla Motors can build me a rugged four-wheel drive electric vehicle with solar charging panels on the roof, featuring off-road handling and load bearing capability comparable to my Land Rover, I will never buy another drop of gasoline again.
Problem is, it’s not just about cars.
Every gasoline and diesel-powered automobile in America could vanish tomorrow in a purple cloud of pixie dust, replaced by a shiny new electric vehicle, and the United States would STILL be dependent on oil.
Why? Two words: wheat and beef.
