What Oil Money Will Buy... When You Drill It Yourself
This is what you get when you have the largest economy in the world buying your oil--
Buying your oil because they refuse (http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/06/bush-urges-democrats-to-lift-offshore.html)to develop their own reserves (http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/06/democrats-big-lie-about-anwr.html).

The world's tallest building.

So you think that we should nationalize our oil companies like all the companies in the Middle East?

Remember that America doesn't own any oil companies and we have no means of producing oil. Companies like Saudi Aramco and The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company are owned by the government and the massive profits can work back to the people and be used to build roads, schools and cities.

Oil pumped in America goes to the oil companies and if it's water based outside of the Gulf it goes over seas were American citizens are welcome to bid on it.

The problem isn't that we need to drill more oil.

The problem is that we need to use less oil.

A majority of the emirate's revenues are from trade, manufacturing and financial services. Revenues from petroleum and natural gas contribute less than 6% (2006) of Dubai's US$ 37 billion economy (2005).

Basically, when you really read about it, Dubai was basically built into what it is with money laundering, tax dodging and junk bonds.

Just like when Vegas was wrestled from complete mob control and rebuilt by corporations.

Once we sign over leases to the oil companies they can move to Dubai just like the No Bid winner Halliburton.

Frankie,

Are you maybe a bit envious that the middle east now has grown a bigger phallic symbol that yours. :lmao2:
