Al Qaeda Wants to Choke off U.S. Oil Supply

Al Qaeda called yesterday for attacks on U.S. oil suppliers worldwide, not just in the Middle East. The call came in the online newsletter of Al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia. (Yup, Al Qaeda has a website: Check out this nifty guide to jihad on the internet.)

The funny thing is, the new targets include Canada, Mexico and Venezuela. Can you imagine how psyched the Bushies would be to have Al Qaeda take out Hugo Chavez?

Poor Canada and Mexico are busy battening down the hatches, probably trying to figure out why, why this is happening to them.

For a handy-dandy reference on the role of oil in the U.S.'s battle with al Qaeda and the war in Iraq, go to the Mother Jones timeline, and click the oil tag.

A great excuse for Bush to go bomb Venezuela - "They're harboring terrorists!"

Okay, the douchbag who posted this article sounds like an Al Qaeda simpathist to me. Does he want Al Qaeda to disrupt oil supply? Yes, hippy- I agree we need to reduce our dependence on foriegn oil but do you really want such attacks to be successful? I know you are just waiting for the day when you can power your VW on patchouli oil.

Prove to Jesus you're a patriot and a Republican, Enlist for the surge!!

Ha ha! Far from a Republican- sure not a pussy liberal who thinks if we just leave Al Qaeda alone they will go away... Good thing Dennis Kuchinich isn't running the country- although he probably would do a better job than Bush- that isn't hard though...

Ya know, if we consumed less oil, drove smaller cars, ya know like the electric gas combo type, put the speed limit back at 55MPH, pushed for other sources of energy, then the money flowing to the Mid East would slow down.
Then the governments over there and the royal families wouldn't have that much to spend and give to these terrorist groups.
I know I know...it's too simple a plan. But it'd cut their money. No money, no terrorists groups.
I know I know...it's too simple.
