OPEC Thanks America

The OPEC Minister Would Like to Thank Americans

"We are at war with you infidels. You have more missiles, bombs, and technology; so we are fighting you with the best weapon we have and extracting on a net basis about $700 billion/year out of your economy. We shall, in a short time, destroy you!

While you are still here, I would like to thank you for the following: Not developing your 250-300 year supply of oil shale and tar sands. We know well that if you did this, it would create millions of jobs for US citizens, expand your engineering capabilities, and keep your wealth within the U.S. instead of sending it to us to finance our war you don't seem to notice we are waging against you.

Thanks for limiting your defense department purchases of oil sands from your neighbors to the north. We love it when you confuse your allies.

Thanks for over-regulating every segment of your economy and thus delaying, by decades, the development of alternate fuel technologies.

Thanks for limiting drilling off your coasts, in Alaska, and anywhere there is a bug, bird, fish or plant that might be inconvenienced. Better that your people suffer! It fills us with great joy to see our lobbying efforts have been so effective.

Corn based Ethanol. Oh, my! Praise Allah for this sham program! You will destroy yourself from the inside with these types of policies. This is a gift from Allah, praise his name!

We never would have thought of this one! This is better than when you pay your farmers NOT TO GROW FOOD. Yes!! Have them use more energy to create less energy, and simultaneously drive food prices through the roof.

Thank you U.S. Congress!!!!

And finally, we appreciate you letting us fleece you like our sheep without end. Perhaps you are not aware that we have been accumulating shares in your banks, real estate, and publicly held companies with a small amount of the money you send us.

We also finance a good portion of your National debt and are progressing every day in our ability to manipulate your markets, your pitiful dollar, and your plummeting economy to our benefit.

Soon we will own you. Your forefathers must be whirling in their infidel graves!

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU AMERICA!"
