|
millions of barrels of crude off the market right now - they know that.
Some people think the US is a vitrual empire - that we exercise control because we control the currency of choice - it makes sense, too.
But we are not an island unto ourselves.
There will be a move toward that port - The dieing will occur to the north - the casualty of war, ecconomically - is going to happen at that port.

2. I make this further calculation - you Mr Bush move three carrier |
|
task forces in to protect those shipping terminals -and you get on the phone and make sure the british get out of those bunkers and cover that city - and you do it now.
Not a lot of time here - those assholes are two steps ahead of you. You know it.
Get it right - I am not looking at the moral anymore - just the right thing to protect us. You are history soon in any event - we will live on. Do it.

6. Events are moving really fast - I will cut to the chase. |
|
I admit I am just a graduate history student - but I know the tactics - I have seen them before. We are getting played in a war we should never have entered.
Cover those loading facilities like white on rice Bush - that is where the weakness is.

8. So you think there will be an escalationsouth near Basra? |
|
or north near Kirkuk where there was the blast in the oil pipeline.
I'm confused, where are these loading facilities?

9. I am saying they can attack at both ends - to the same effect. |
|
The kids will die to the north I think -
but if they can stop exports - north and south - well, then we are screwed.
These people can clearly chew gum and walk at the same time.

7. I don't want to be right - I want to be wrong. |

You know what this could mean to us???
They never needed to attack us at home - they just wanted to fuck with us. They can very well attack us from there. These guys are pretty smart.
Boy do they get their chance - and we allowed it. We gave it to them.
Stop studying ancicent Greece Mr Bush - remember where We come from.
We are not Xenophon - we are more.
Remember what our fathers died to protect.
