I think you might have missed the point, Ratty - there's a finite amount of oil available and we're (yes, that's _we_) using it up fast. As the individual reservoirs of oil get down, the cost of pumping increases so prices are due to increase expotentially.
Strange then that US oil production drops each year!
You're now pumping around 2% of your known reserves per year but your total consumption is rising annually while your production has diminished every year since 1975.
that 5 year reservoir.
Why is 5 years a fallacy? Why is any current estimate of reserves a fallacy - if the estimate is known to be wrong then it isn't the current estimate.
Saddam didn't support terrorism - he was a dictator while the "terrorists" are fundamentalist Moslems - ie diametrically opposed ideologies. The US supported Hussein while it suited you.
You didn't allow that "final opportunity to comply" to be played out.
So put the money into development. I've already taken some of the steps - no-one wants to know.
Who the hell do you think hates the USa??? The only people who hate you are those you hurt. The rest of us may dislike what you do but it's your paranoia that translates that into hate.
He did, and in a very direct manner. He quite openly made cash payments to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers.
Cash payment = 'support,' suicide bomber = 'terrorist,' ipso facto...
Not that I'd care to argue that this constitutes any kind of just cause for the action taken by the U.S. government in this instance, but you do persist in saying stupid things which need correcting.
Rathhole, if you gave more to the starving children you would have less for oil and wasteful driving. Perhaps then you could also consider model railroading. You can't do much of that and answer every post on here like you do

I believe what he meant was that SH didnt support al-Quaida, which has funds enough of its own, and is heavily supported from saudie arabia, a nation which is teetering on the brink of civil war due to its rulers corruption, the destabilisation that a civil war in tht nation will cause with so many fanatics fighting for control of the islamic holy places is mind boggling, as I said in a discussion before the war, we should have armed the Iraqis and left them to fight it out amongst themslves, it has nothing to do with Europe or the USA, but can spill over into our own nations. if only one pwrcent of all the muslims in our respective nations run amuck that is a long term and very costly terrorist ar , and quite frankly with the exception of the British posting here there isnt a single one of you knows what he's talking about because none of you have exprienced a terrorist campaign, and no the WTC was not campaign it was an isolated if terrible incident campaigns drag on for years.

Sure, like we believe THAT?! You brainman or the one who whines and is pathetic about issue over which you are a complete nobody. Me, I am happy dude. Stay off of your meds for once and try trains or happiness versus you bitching and flaming................
In 1977 the 'experts' like you said we would be out of oil in 1985 and having a nuclear winter due to all the fumes causing the tempature to drop.
You were wrong then and you are wrong now. Fortunately, you are just a stoned wacko in nowhere whining on a model train group. You have zero influence.
Keep posting, you are funny to see in action. You make my day knowing more gibberish and lies are coming.

you waste the sooner the price will go up for us.

OK, I reckon it's cheaper to conquer other countries and steal their oil...can you cite any instances of this happening in the last 100 years?
be wrong then it isn't the current
Then the idea of a current estimate is a fallacy, since there is no known way of predicitng how much oil is "left". Remember, new technologies are discovered for detecting and recovering crude oil, at less cost,all the time.

True enough - against a worse dictator. Regardless, al Quaida operatives ~were~ supported and trained within the borders of Iraq with the knowledge and complicity of the Iraqi government.
How long does it take? One year? Five years? Twelve years? All it would have taken was one week to show a wilingness to accept the terms. Much more time than that was allowed. He knew what was coming if he did not comply, and he accepted that the consequences of his actions would result in the destruction of his power base. And he did it anyway. Why? I don't think we will ever understand...
no-one wants to know.
We have a free-enterprise system in this country. Believe me, people are working in favor of it, but I suspect others are working to see that no one else gets there before they do.
what you do but it's your paranoia that
The people who hate the US are the ones flying airplanes into our skyscrapers. We didn't hurt them, but we may have offended them - so what? I get offended every day, but I do not vow destruction on a nation because of it...
I am only referring to individuals - are you citing a nation for the actions of some citizens? That's what everyone in this discussion seems to want to do - which makes them not so different from the people they are complaining about.
OK, them first.
I still stand behind this (now spell-checked) statement. Maybe that's the problem...
The average muslim in the arab world (that is to say in arab dominated countries) saw the US Military prescence in Saufie Arabia as a terrible insult to Islam per se, add to that the corruption of the Saud regime and you get WTC, incidentally al-Quaida is seen as having achieved its goals against the USa as there are now virtually no US military in Saudie arabia. This is why they have so much support from the average arab, Personally I say let the Sauds go to the wall, as they have been responsible for the export of the extremist Wahaabi islamic doctrine, they anf Turkey are responsible for most of the muslim activity in the western world.
