[size=+1]Foreign troop withdrawal only when Iraq stable: Mubarak[/size]
<SMALL>Yahoo News ^| November 24 2004 | AFP</SMALL>

MADRID (AFP) - Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said he was not disappointed that a two-day conference on the future of Iraq, hosted by his country earlier this week, failed to set a date for the withdrawal of foreign troops.

We cannot say we are disappointed," Mubarak said Wednesday following talks with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.

"No date was fixed owing to the current situation (in Iraq). Fighting is ongoing and the situation is not stable. "When an Iraqi army is in place, when the situation has stabilised, we will be able to fix a set date for the withdrawal of the multinational force from Iraq," said Mubarak, who hosted the conference in Sharm El-Sheikh before heading to Madrid on a two-day visit.

I've only said this a thousand times.What those savages in the ME respect is a boot in the ass....Notice the tone of the leadership change as the Marines help the possum fakers turn the corner to Allahville.....Like Patton says everyone likes a winner.

All to true.. I'm noticing several hats in hand now...Amazing what a bomb on the head does or 2 bullets to the head does. These people don't talk things out ever. They understand bombs and bullets only, so be it.

Guys:

The big source that needs to be kicked in the ass is Saudi Arabia ...

Kicking ass in Iraq is liking kicking ass in Mexico ..

The form of Wahhabism Islam originates and is spread from the #1 bankroll of terrorists in the world: Saudi Arabia

Doc,

Patience. When we pass drilling in ANWR. Look for hats in hands all over the place.

Gameface - you're wrong about that. The US is the greatest user of oil in the world - and other countries such as China are starting to compete with the US for this very finite resource.

The US doesn't want to tap any raw materials within it's borders, but purcahse as much as possible for as long as possible from foreign sources - until they run out!

We can then tap ANWR and other sources. This will give us a buffer from our own resources while we transition to whatever the replacements are for the oil or other raw materials.

BB,

I believe oil will be worthless in 50 years. Technology will improve and the engine we know today will become the horse and buggy of years in the past. We are in the early stages of WW3, without our own oil supply in the next 5 years we cannot defeat the radical muslims. The world prices will also drop, even if we do not use the oil in ANWR, once we show we are serious they will come with hats in hand.

BB,

Oil resources will never run out because America will not depend on oil eventually.

Man, some of this stuff is such nonsense.
Less than half of each barrel of oil goes on gasoline young master Gameface.
(I think that Patriots old boy should have given Patriots buddy Gameface a few boots up the azz to help his IQ.)

There's a truckload of stuff that has oil as its base resource.
Plastic for starters. Oil is actually an amazing commodity.

Oil is the lifes blood of any modern economy.

When the world runs out it will be the US oil companies to invent and improve energy resources.

Fuel cells me boys.Fuel cells,where the by product is water...then the envromentilist will ***** about road washouts and erosian.
