Whadaya mean "unfriendly"? The Emirates loves us and send us plenty of oil. Lets face it, they can't sell it to other Arab countries and we have an unlimited appetite, so it's a marriage made in heaven. Iraq loves us now, and if they don't we'll just spend another $200b to kick their ass to tell 'em that they do (and so Haliburton can make another extra $10b on the side). The Saudi's loves us, we let all the Bin Ladins fly home before they got their ass kicked on 9-11. But, the Arabian countries don't really sell oil to "us", they sell it to the oil companies who jack the price and screw us all while getting massive US Gov't tax discounts because apparently there's no incentive to develop new oil wells. Go figure. I have to laugh when I hear about "arctic oil exploration" being a resource to lower our costs - like the oil companies are going to cut the cost of oil below market because they like selling to US citizens. Right. Exxon quarterly results in today - 10b quarterly profits largest ever in US History ...following last year's highest ever annual profits in US History. Those US oil companies really care about the country. Lets face it - it does not matter where the oil comes from - we're going to get screwed by the government giving away our resources and tax money and the oil companies making obscene profits. Such is life. I'll just work harder, make more money to pay for my high priced premium gas, and enjoy the turbo. Gotta go work now, my tank is low. Bob
