I have no idea what that means. desides? won't? if saddam was ruling the US I would be happy if people started bombing my city to try to get rid of him. What's wrong with bush? I fail to see a valid point in your statement, and regret ever reading it.

If Bush were in charge of my country I would be begging for someone to invade and depose him.

You're one to talk, Tony Blair is just as dumb, I mean, how stupid do you have to be to be Bush's slave?

Stupidity I can live with. He's not quite as evil or insane as Bush though.

He's almost as irritating as Bush when he speaks. Have you ever noticed how he pauses for like an hour between each sentence?

That's propably because he's trying to remember his lines just like Bush, who is definitely worse!   :D

The gas guzzling US consumes more than 25 per cent of oil produced worldwide. And where does the US get its oil imports? In 2000, nearly 55 per cent of US gross oil imports came from four countries: 15 per cent from Canada, 14 per cent from Saudi Arabia and Venezuela and 12 per cent from Mexico. Iraq supplied 5 per cent to 6 per cent.

World crude oil production by country in 2001 (barrels daily)

1. Saudi Arabia - 8,768,000
2. USA - 7,717,000
3. Russian Federation - 7,056,000
4. Iran - 3,688,000
5. Mexico - 3,560,000
6. Venezuela - 3,418,000
7. Norway - 3,414,000
8. China - 3,308,000
9. United Kingdom - 2,503,000
10.Iraq - 2,414,000
11. United Arab Emirates - 2,422,000
12. Nigeria - 2,148,000
13. Kuwait - 2,142,000
14. Libya - 1,425,000
15. Indonesia - 1,410,000

World proven crude oil reserves by country in 2001 (thousand million barrels)

1. Saudi Arabia - 261.8
2. Iraq - 112.5
3. United Arab Emirates - 97.8
4. Kuwait - 96.5
5. Iran - 89.7
6. Venezuela - 77.7
7. Russian Federation - 48.6
8. USA - 30.4
9. Libya - 29.5
10.Mexico - 26.9
11. Nigeria - 24.0
12. China - 24.0
13. Qatar - 15.2
14. Norway - 9.4  

 The USA's proven oil reserves have fallen from 36.5 billion barrels to 30.1 billion over the past 20 years whilst NAFTA has dropped from 102 billion barrels to just 64.8 billion, presumably due to all that Yankee gas-guzzling as the economy has boomed.

The ratio of NAFTA reserves to annual USA oil consumption has never been lower. If the Yanks were only relying on NAFTA, their annual consumption of 7 billion barrels would suck the whole of North America dry in less than 10 years.

ouch, in 10 years, americans can't drive those "god-awful" building sized SUVs. sucks for us. thank god i drive a honda, which gets fantastic gas mileage. maybe i should upgrade and get a hybrid  
oh wait. we are in Iraq now, with a texas oil guy leading the fight. shitty. i dont know. maybe it is about oil afterall. weak. huhm, america does not want the UN involved with the rebuilding. america went after the oil reserves first, saying that they were protecting the iraqis key to restoring the country after sadam was ousted. i dont know.
i got this off of this site. i do not know how relible it is.
maybe we really are in there to "Liberate" the iraqi people  :rolleyes:  
well, i guess we will know in about 1-2 years..

Honda's go alright, but the parts are expensive and stuff.

At least they are here.

Honda parts are cheapo here.

This month SUV sales finally started going down, 4 cylinder moving boxes are up to 30-something percent, and six cylinder cars are still leading the way.

Point is: we're not going to be seeing as many gas-guzzlers soon. Yay!

Oh, and my parents promised me a hybrid once I get my license.
