GorillaGal, u are all in a huge frigging brainwashed choir.. even one of my american/cypriot friends came to visit Cyprus a month ago.."yeah, fucking terrorists...yeah, kill the mofos in IRAQ, coool..duuude"... there are some many people dead and displaced that there had to be 25 Saddams to reach that figure... taking into account that they' live to their 80s and not hanged.

Anyway, the point is that US is shifting its preference to Cyprus due to oil is clear... but nothing can happen overnight, so they are creating an atmosphere of their support and blah blah... and besides, they need a trouble free OIL rich area.

we have alaska. we don't need your oil. sorry to burst your bubble on that one....

You know US policy on Domestic oil. They will never touch their own OIL for another decades to come...

GorillaGal, i dont claim that i know a lot about this to lecture someone...but YOU clearly have no idea at all, so atleast read some independent resources on the net and stop watching FOX, CNN, and CBS... word "terrorism" is mentioned 23 times on average every broadcast hour in US..

and rightly so.....

GorillaGal, Texas, as well as Mexican Gulf rigs have been in operation for decades... they have a maximum production quotas controlled by the government... i am talking about new and well known natural reserves of OIL such as ALASKA, they will not go Pumping frenzy on their own territory as longs as international OIL situation is fairly "stable"

Look, i totally get you... you are "marching" together with your ppl, 911 was a horrible terrorist act (no matter who is behind it, thousands of innocent people died) but you need to logically weight things out... the world situation prior 911 and after... before IRAQ invasion and after... see for your self, there are facts US government cant hide.

The US only produces half the oil it consumes.

I'm convinced that GorillaGal only watches FOX News and listens to Right Wing Talk Radio.

No one knows yet what volume of oil reserves (if any) exists in the area and whether it is economically viable to drill it out. That being the case I think it is a bit too early to speculate on US policy for the area.

Yes I do agree that major oil supplies could be of great economic and political interest to USA, Russia and even China. I further agree that, out of the three USA is more likely to get involved militarily to protect economic interests, BUT I do not agree that any such situation exists around Cyprus for now.

BTW, I always said and insist that US intervention in Iraq was not Al Kaida (which is even more clear now) or to aid Iraqi people against oppression! It was the ongoing oil deals between Iraq, Europe and China where Saddam was willing to drop US dollar as the oil-currency in preference to EU dollar! This is why many of the major powers in Europe who had interests in those deals (e.g. Germany, France, Russia etc. opposed participating in any military intervention at the time).
