| | We all know that support for a Palestinian state in the USA went up to 75 percent during the Arab (Saudi) oil embargo of 1973 (when the Saudis cut off oil to the USA when the USA had supplied F-4 Phantom jets to the Israelis because they were in the midst of being defeated by the Arabs). The resulting oil embargo slowed the US economy (because when the price of oil goes up the economy in the USA obviously goes down and is more prone to recover when the oil price per barrel drops to the point where the Arabs are basically selling it at the price of mineral water). So the Zionists figure (that if the Saudis and OPEC) ever pull a similar embargo they increase production in "occupied" Iraq to counter (along with what oil is being acquired from the Caspian Sea region and other areas). If the USA doesn't eventually occupy Iraq after invading in the very near future, it will put an Israeli-friendly lackey ("strong man" like the Shah of Iran) in power who will do what the USA wishes (in accordance with what the Israeli masters want as instructed via a the pro-Israel lobby-corrupted and Zionist-occupied US government). Don't be surprised if you see a pipeline from Iraq to Israel as well.... | |  | | Guest | | | | *Mutt American | | Posted: Mon Dec 30, 2002 3:02 am Post subject: |
| Saudi Arabia Assures U.S. of Airspace Use
By ROBERT BURNS
The Associated Press
December 28, 2002
WASHINGTON (AP) - Saudi Arabia has privately assured U.S. officials they could launch air support missions from Saudi bases in the event of a war with Iraq and could coordinate the air war from a central command post near the Saudi capital, Pentagon officials said Saturday.
Saudi Arabia is a long-standing American ally, but its willingness to permit U.S. forces to operate from the kingdom's soil for attacks on Iraq has been in serious doubt for many months. Saudi Arabia was the most important staging area for U.S. forces during the 1991 Gulf War against Iraq.
Victoria Clarke, spokeswoman for Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, said Saturday she could not comment on specific arrangements the Pentagon has made with Saudi Arabia or any other ally. She said it is U.S. policy not to discuss basing arrangements.
Even so, she indicated that the Bush administration has reason to believe the Saudis will do as much as they can to support the United States.
"We are confident they will be an important ally going forward," she said.
Other officials said Saturday on condition of anonymity that the Saudis have given private assurances that U.S. support aircraft, such as cargo, surveillance and refueling planes, could operate from Saudi bases.
These officials said the Saudis also are willing to allow the United States to coordinate and direct an air campaign against Iraq from the Combined Air Operations Center, a state-of-the-art command center at Prince Sultan Air Base, south of Riyadh, the Saudi capital.
It remains unclear whether the Saudis would agree to allow U.S. strike aircraft to use Saudi air bases or fly through Saudi airspace en route to targets in Iraq. One U.S. official said it seemed unlikely the Saudis would allow that, although discussions apparently are expected to continue.
The Saudis' willingness to allow use of the Prince Sultan command center and other air bases for support missions was first reported by The New York Times in a story posted on the Internet for Sunday editions.
The newspaper also reported that Saudi officials have been allowing U.S. warplanes based in Saudi Arabia to fly strike missions for the past two months in southern Iraq in support of the "no fly" zone south of Baghdad, the Iraqi capital.
U.S. planes had been flying those missions mainly out of Kuwait and from aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf.
Publicly, Saudi officials have been noncommittal about allowing their territory to be used as a staging area for war against Iraq.
In addition to Saudi Arabia, U.S. forces would rely on bases in Turkey, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, if President Bush decides to use military force against Iraq. | | | | Guest | | Posted: Mon Dec 30, 2002 3:17 am Post subject: Life of an American Jew in Racist-Marxist Israel |

| Subj: RE: U.S. wants cheaper oil
It is time to dispel this myth. The U.S. is not interested in gaining control over oil and natural gas resources for purposes of U.S. domestic consumption. Look to the African continent. Look to the Indian sub-continent, and to south-Asian and east-Asian regions of the world. These are areas which have been typically comprised of third-world nations, but that is changing now. Many of these countries are developing, industrializing, and this is creating a new wave of consumerism - new markets - a new demand for these fuels. The United States is intent on cornering these markets, because after all, he who control the resources flowing into these regions, will in effect, control the regions themselves. This is why, for the past ten years, we have seen the proliferation of U.S.-led consortiums throughout the middle east and nations which were once a part of the Soviet Bloc - because these are the countries who will meet these new demands for gas and oil. Look at Afghanistan, for example. The U.S. government gave financial aid and diplomatic assistance to U.S. corporations trying to establish footholds in this country for years - all at U.S. taxpayer expense. They did this not because they wished to end the civil war there, not because they wished to end opium cultivation there, but because Afghanistan ( like Iran ) is strategically situated in the region, in terms of exporting gas and oil from former Soviet states such as Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan who control the vast reserves of natural gas and oil in the Caspian region. This is why the current situation in Afghanistan is such that the bombs haven't stopped falling yet, but there is already a deal for a Trans-Afghanistan pipeline on the table and signed. Mark my words, a U.S. invasion of Iran is coming in the next decade. Once the U.S. assumes control in Iraq, Iran will be isolated on all sides - encompassed by U.S. military-controlled nations, and their allies. This is no coincidence, my friend. Iran is a crucial piece to the plan to monopolize the gas and oil industries of the Asian continent. Not only does Iran control enormous reserves of oil and natural gas, but they are ideally situated for the exporting of these resources to the Far East and elsewhere. In addition, the presence of the U.S. military in both Iraq and Iran solves the long-standing issue of security in the region, which has been a major stumbling block in export consumer-related deals for decades. | | | | | ©2002-2009 WarWithoutEnd.co.uk |
