Goal No. 1: Make the World Safe For Oil Companies

by David Rossie


News item: "CARACAS, Venezuela - Venezuela had a blunt message this week for Exxon Mobil, one of the world's most powerful oil companies: Get off my crude-rich turf."

All right, what do we have to do, wait for a pack of crazed Latinos to crash a hijacked airliner into Disneyland before we realize that Venezuela and its power-crazed presidente cum dictator Hugo Chavez have declared war on the United States?

And don't try to tell me that Venezuela's threatening an oil company and not the United States. Exxon Mobil is the United States. Just ask Dick Cheney. If you can find him.

Venezuela poses a clear and present danger to this country and has for some time. First, its people thumbed their collective noses at us when they restored Chavez to office after evicting him for a couple of days, thereby undoing all the good work our CIA had done.

Then Chavez, out for revenge, poked fun at our beloved president when they were down in Argentina and got several thousand other USA-hating Latin Americans to join in the fun. But it wasn't until last winter when Chavez demonstrated the depths to which he was willing to stoop in his Communist-inspired attempts to thwart our efforts to spread freedom and democracy throughout the world .

1. The U.S. foreign legion will protect global assets of multinational

corporations that have offices in the U.S. and contribute to political campaigns.

The flag below depicts money on a field of oil.

2. Well they are doing a lousy job of it

Nigeria, Iraq, South America... maybe next Iran...The number of places where it is not safe for Oil companies (at least, their workers) is growing every year.
They are doing a bang up job of raising Oil proces and Oil company profits, however...:sarcasm:

3. I agree. In what way have they protected the oil

companies? They've just made things exponentially worse for them. Look at Saudi Arabia. They've had some bombings of their oil facilities; the biggest in the world.

Dick Cheney has in fact been one big MAGNET for terrorism against his BELOVED oil companies. When will the CEO's figure that out and dump him?

Cheney is unbelivably notorious, a real gangster in the eyes of the world. He's universally hated; his ratings have been around 17%. Talk about hiding: the man is so despised that he travels in a bullet-proof limo, hides out in secret places; even has a body-double who will "take the bullet", just in case.
