Screw CITGO

[TheJester]

Just got done watching something on FoxNews that had the president of venezuala, sheenan, and someone else that all got together the other day to talk SMACK, not only about the President of the US, but smack about AMERICA in general.

:wtf

A. no matter what that woman's view is, they should bar her from coming back into the states.

B. they mentioned that citgo gas is owned by venezuala. So, screw them and everything else they offer to sell.

One may note that I didn't capitalize much. That is because capitalization is only supposed to be used for things of IMPORTANCE and at the beginning of a sentence.

I missed the Fox Special,
But President Chavez is a Real Piece of work!!
I heard comments recently on CNN stating basically, NOT TO Worry, that, while Chavez may talk trash , etc. , we are Venezuelas main oil trading partner, and the only country with refineries that are set up to process their high sulfur, heavy crude---- SO, Nyet Problema
Anybody that believes that, in todays conditions of ever shrinking supply and geometrically expanding markets, ( Specifically China! ) someone else ( again think China) will not revamp, or grassroots refineries with those capabilities is on drugs.
With the continuing insanity in Africa, Former Soviet Union, and the Middle East, a really major supply chain interruption is not only likely but probably imminent.
I can think of a half dozen scenarios that could be played out with a couple of fast boat teams :AR15 ( easy with Seals, but possible even for skanks!) and relatively minimal equipment that could literally devastate world oil supply
If we had Politicians with any sense and testicles they would pass a law that beginning 2014 (just to pick a date) NO Oil ImPORTs IN the US, Period, or only from NAFTA partners.
All energy must be home grown.
I would venture that the balance of payments, increased tax revenue,( from infrastructure and jobs created) would pay for it in spades ---as well as not leaving us in the condition of being a heroin addicted whore have to turn or knife any trick just to live

I bet if congress even began to consider this, crude prices from OPEC etc. would go down immediately.,:cheers

how about 30 some years ago someone having a bright idea like, DUH, hey, should be build our OWN refineries? :doh

when the president of mexico and venezuala become leaders of REAL counries, I'll start paying more attention to their threats or what they say.
