>> Gescheft, do ktorego potrzeba bylo setki rannych i zabitych amerykanskich
GI, bierze w leb! Ropa, ktora po 'bezpieczenstwie' Izraela byla uboczna
kalkulacja wygranej wojny z wlasnym CIA agentem -Saddamem, nie plynie, ale
ledwie kapie do pustej i dziurawej kieszenie amerykanow. Miala byc ta ropa
iracja i tania i bronia w walce z Opec'em, aby wywindowac zrujnowana przez
Busha gospodarka amerykanska ( najwybitniejszym osiagnieciem Busha jest
oproznienie 3300 000 stanowisk pracy!!!), a tu...nie leci!!!
>> Irakijczycy doskonale rozumieja ze oprocz odsylania GI spowrotem do
Ameryki w gumowych pokrowcach i na lodzie, najlepsza walka z najezdzca i
okupantem, jest wszelkiego rodzaju zacheta do wypierdalania stamtad w formie
wysadzania ropociagu, kradziezy najrozniejszych komponentow ze stacji
pompowniczych, etc. Tak wiec w miejsce zacierania brudnych rak, Bush musi
dobrze lepetyne teraz nacierac aby z powrotem sie z Opec'em dogadywac. W
miedzyczasie 'pissed off' Arabia Saudyjska utrzymuje wysokie ceny i ma Busha
glownie w dupie...
>> No a bohaterskie wojsko amerykanskie poci sie w pustynnym upale i dupy
pilnuja aby im jej nie odstrzelono. No i okazyjnie spierdalaja te wojaki
przebrane za...Arabow i placac slone ceny za przeszmuglowanie ich
do...wolnosci. Inni, mniej arabsko nastawieni, ale stesknieni za dupa,
strzelaja sie sami, aby sie ratowac z tego cieplutkiego Piekla...
>> Welcome to Iraknam!!!
>>Bush's oil move backfires
Now he will have to try diplomacy

In a dream ending for the chapter of history being written now in Iraq, neo-
conservatives fantasised before the war about a privatised, pro-American
Iraqi oil industry. This would have access to the world's second largest
hydrocarbon reserves and produce so much oil that Saudi Arabia, in charge of
Opec, would lose its grip on petrol prices.
The world would then be swimming in inexpensive petrol - the cost of which
would be dictated by the market, not by an anti-American price-fixing club
run by Riyadh. Low prices would also mean falling revenues for oil-
producers, which in the Middle East might precipitate the collapse of
regimes hostile to the US. These hopes are now being dissipated like sand
before the desert wind.
Oil is dribbling, rather than pumping, from Iraq's bomb-blasted oil
industry. Sabotage and theft mean Iraq's oil production remains at a
fraction of the levels achieved under Saddam. With reconstruction failing to
take off, there is little sign of a post-Ba'athist dividend in the form of
low oil prices. The result is that US action in Iraq has not weakened Opec,
and hence Saudi Arabia, but strengthened it.
Last week's meeting of Opec ministers confirmed that with supplies being
disrupted by political unrest in Venezuela and Nigeria, oil prices would
remain where the Saudis want them to be - high. This is bad news for any
putative global recovery and the US economy. Ever since Arab nations imposed
an embargo on oil exports to America in 1973, the United States has tried,
in theory, to wean itself off foreign oil. George Bush declared hydrocarbon
independence a priority. But the real issue is not where the oil spurts
from, but how much it costs to buy.
If politics is the pursuit of economics by other means, then Mr Bush needs
now to display a deftness previously absent. Oil ministers are already
talking of cutting production, with the implicit, Exocet-shaped threat of
rising petrol costs. Every major economic recession in the past 40 years has
been preceded by a jump in the oil price.
The Saudi foreign minister's fury last week over a Congressional report that
implicated his nation in terrorism will not have gone unnoticed. The neo-
conservatives' project for Opec has been exposed as counterproductive.
Instead Washington will have to revert to diplomacy to win over Riyadh.The
question is whether they do so by being crude - or by being refined.
