Here's some data for all you spreadsheet/dbf fans. It shows how much oil is
gained from generalised sources. You can go to the source URL and find out
other interesting bits and bytes of information like jet fuel, heating oil,
nat'l gas and the like. Just think though: if some Middle Eastern nations
were denied a credible source of income for a while (check out the Reagan
years, 1980-88), things might be thought of a little differently. Note that in
the Bush years (1989-1992), the Middle Easterners produced near enough DOUBLE
what they did the previous eight years -- near enough.
About a year and a half ago, I posted a brief rationalisation for the 'Gulf
War', portrayed in one single photograph of GHW Bush on what I recall was a
Kuwaiti oil derrick. 'Nuff said. A<>E<>R

be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
