Who woulda thought that people that were camping in the desert and using camels for tranportation several decades ago,would now hold the fate of-"the only superpower left"--in their hands?Crazy world.
Who woulda thought that people that were camping in the desert and using camels for tranportation several decades ago,would now hold the fate of-"the only superpower left"--in their hands?Crazy world. Oh yes the Arabs, who would have thought that such a people could have built up a huge empire stretching from Spain to India, that at one time was the worlds greatest, most technologically advanced and wealthiest superpower, cor history, it’s like crazy hey? The thing is that empires rise and fall, maybe that would be a salutary lesson for some Americans to learn? **
It gets crazier all the time: Now our president is giving enriched uranium to the same bastard's that were actually responsible for the Twin Tower bombings, while threatening Iran with war for wanting nuclear power. http://www.democracynow.org/2008/5/20/as_us_threatens_iran_over_enriching
He's been successful in only one thing running the US into the ground. With the high fuel costs, everything costs more, we no longer manufacture, our dollar is weak so we have no leverage and through executive orders our constitution is worth nothing. We'll end up lower on the global scale than most third world nations. And who made it happen? While those in the know and power, have their hedges, and vacation spots in Dubhai and Paraquay, the average citizen has what exactly?
yes and america can look forward to more punishment at the hands of its own government. its not all bad though with all the poor being manufactured by inflation and interest rate rises at least they can join up and live somewhere abroad courtesy of the armed forces, even if its in a wooden box.
Yep,Bush+Cheney have been laughing for years.Bush was happy when he left his close freinds in Saudi Arabia.You really think the Bush administration cares about about oil prices.Bush asked his buddies to 'raise them and they said they will.
Who? The Saudi government. I don't think so. I think it would be more fair to say: A bunch of people that happened to come from Saudi Arabia. Don't you? Just thought, anyway.
Odon,when I said Bush asked his buddies to raise the prices I was joking.Translation Bush does not give a shit how high prices go on gas or anything.But nothing would surprise me about Bush,ya never know he might have asked.
I did not know Americans had sarcasm Sadly, the likelyhood of your healthy skeptisism being accurate, are as distant as me winning the hand of The Saudi Kings daughter. More likely reason for high prices: Supply and demand and the speculators. I think I am right in thinking you guys drove 4 billion less miles last year. That might effect prices as well. I know it is an often trodden road, but, why do these theories about Bush/Oil, persist? To me most of the time it is just innuendo. Anyway, I'm glad you have a sense of humour.
odon,thankyou.It is hard to translate sarcasm into typed words.----Speculators being "unregulated" has alot to do with it. As far as Bush/Oil go,some people tend to associate him with that,I don't.Fact is Bush+Cheney have and have always had ONLY 1 purpose and that is to make the rich,richer and deregulate big business--they only care for the top 1 percent income earners.Thats it.--
No problem. Please take my questions as inquisitive not threatening. I guess: Don't lose your sense of humour. "Thats it." (sic) Fair enough chap, fair enough.
