Kerry Says America Needs Independance From The Saudi Royal Family!!!
Edited on Wed Sep-29-04 07:04 PM by cryingshame
Can you imagine if Kerry says this during the debate?

After F9/11 enough people know about Bandar Bush & Saudis owning big slice of America. They will get the reference.

Kerry Says Bush Broke Promise on Oil"

SPRING GREEN, Wis. -- Democratic Sen. John Kerry said Wednesday the $50 per barrel price of oil reflects a
broken promise of President Bush that will hurt average Americans.

Bush said that Iraqi oil "would pay for the war, but we know that those oil pipes are being blown up," Kerry said.
"We know that $50 a barrel isn't as bad as it might get because analysts are now telling us that the price may go up
to $60."

snip.........

"Halliburton's not feeling the pain," Kerry said. "The people in Saudi Arabia and (the) Middle East who get the
money aren't feeling the pain. But the average American is going to feel the pain of the fact that President Bush
has broken his promise, doesn't have an energy policy for this country and doesn't know how he's going to solve
the problem of Iraq."

Also Wednesday, Kerry's campaign released a TV ad on "energy independence" in which he says: "I want an America that relies on its own ingenuity and innovation, not the Saudi royal family."

8. It'll be noticed, and . . .
The media chuckleheads will all look at the statement like a dog watching a card trick and wonder what Kerry could possibly mean: Why does the United States need to be liberated from the Saudi royal family? They aren't in charge. What is Kerry talking about? Didn't Kerry meet with someone from the Saudi royal family once in his career? Was Jane Fonda present at the meeting? Did you know that Prince Somebody-or-other once attended a charity event with Teresa Heinz Kerry? What a flip-flopper!

5. The top five crude oil exporters to the U.S.
http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/company_level_imports/current/import.html


This information was posted to the above website 27 September 2004.

Per 1000BBLs, imported by U.S. in July 2004

#1 -- Canada -- 1,664
#2 -- Saudi Arabia -- 1,622
#3 -- Mexico -- 1,603
#4 -- Venezuela -- 1,228
#5 -- Nigeria -- 1,020
#6 -- Iraq -- 693
#9 -- Kuwait -- 268

No other mideast countries are in the top 15 sources.

The top 5 account for 69% of imports; the top 10, 86%. Essentially, Saudi Arabia accounts for roughly (I didn't do the math, I'm ESTIMATING) 15-20% of U.S. imports. If the U.S. imports approximately 60% of its supply, Saudi crude is maybe 12% to 15% (I'm being generous) of our supply.

Why then are we allowing them to dictate to us? This is the message John Kerry -- who advocates a shift to conservation and new technology in alternatives to fossil fuels -- ought to be getting out.

WE DON'T NEED THE FUCKING SAUDIS.
