Boycotting BP/Arco and other British products

[Allan from Fallbrook]

[quote=Arraya]CONCHO-Somebody did hijack Allan’s handle. The Allan I know, knows there is overwhelming, were talking volumes and volumes of evidence linking Iraq to oil. He know’s this because he has read a my posts over the past few years.

The Allan I know, would not resort to partisan knee jerk respones.

The funny thing is, Bushco completely failed at their conspiracy. The “Blood for oil” empire is breaking up.

Obama resides over it’s dissolution.[/quote]

Arraya: You’re as big a killjoy as CONCHO is! I’m trying to get something going here, and resorting to partisan saber rattling is usually the best route, so… C’mon, let me have my fun!

On another note, I just re-read Eric Hoffer’s “The True Believer”. It seemed topical, given the present climate. I would have to believe, Arraya, knowing you, that this tome is on your bedside table, but, if it isn’t, it’s worth another read.

Also, check out the movie “Gonzo” about Hunter S. Thompson. I saw it this weekend and I think you’d enjoy it.

Okay, back to trying to get the trolls out from under the bridge.

[quote=KSMountain][quote=patb]I’d be curious to know how many people wanting to picket BP
were quite happy to have Bush invade Iraq to steal their oil?[/quote]

So we’re stealing Iraqi oil? Really?

Can patb or anyone else enlighten me as to how much we’ve stolen?

It’s my understanding that while we’ve spent about $0.7T to change the regime in Iraq, we have not taken ANY of their oil, tempting and easy as that might have been.

Am I wrong?[/quote]

That would explain all those american multi-nationals in Iraq
signing oil contracts.

Pat: Read this: http://www.upi.com/Energy_Resources/2009/08/24/Iraq-prepares-for-next-oil-contracts/UPI-28761251129466/

It’s a recent article regarding the letting of Iraqi oil contracts and it cites only BP (British Petroleum, which is, uh, British) and China National Petroleum (which is Chinese) as moving forward on this round of contracts.

Yes, I realize this is an on-going process, with multiple rounds of contracts, but it gives lie to your “American multi-nationals signing oil contracts” statement.

How’s about you throw some facts out there, instead of relying on tired old canards, huh? You have Dutch (Royal Dutch Shell), French (Total (fmrly Elf/Aquitaine)), Italian (Eni), Chinese, British and Russian oil companies all competing with ExxonMobil, Chevron, et al, for these oil contracts.

Halliburton. Who was managing the oil fields from 2003 to 2008.

http://professorsmartass.blogspot.com/2007/03/juhasz-whose-oil-is-it-anyway.html

In March 2001, the National Energy Policy Development Group (better known as Vice President Dick Cheney’s energy task force), which included executives of America’s largest energy companies, recommended that the United States government support initiatives by Middle Eastern countries “to open up areas of their energy sectors to foreign investment.” One invasion and a great deal of political engineering by the Bush administration later, this is exactly what the proposed Iraq oil law would achieve. It does so to the benefit of the companies, but to the great detriment of Iraq’s economy, democracy and sovereignty.
