Russia, friend or foe?

Well that seems to be a "no-brainer." Russia is no ally of the U.S., although Putin tries to act like he is. It supports and helps arm with weapons of mass destruction, every enemy and foe of the U.S. and will do whatever it takes to put down any and all U.S. interest around the world.

I, for one, am sick and tired of hearing about Russia's support of Iran and North Korea in their efforts to destroy our way of life. They continue to sell and supply Iran and North Korea with nuclear technology in support of them building a nuclear bomb. They also support the militant group Hezbollah in their war with Israel in spite of the wishes of the Lebanon government.

Let's stop sending our hard earned U.S. dollars to a country who has done everything in it's power to harm the U.S. every chance it gets. It's easy. Just stop purchasing gas and oil from Lukoil of America and you'll be doing your small part.

Lukoil is one of Russia’s largest integrated oil and gas companies. With 1.3 percent of global oil reserves, it is the second largest privately-owned oil company in the world in terms of proven reserves. Lukoil produces 20 percent of the total Russian oil output and is responsible for 18 percent of total Russian oil refining.

Lukoil has been spreading like wildfire across the United States, as it continues its aggressive growth into mainstream U.S. markets. It already has over 2,000 stations pumping over two billion gallons of gasoline annually.

LUKOIL Americas, through its subsidiary Getty Petroleum Marketing Inc., proudly flies the flags of its two premier brands LUKOIL and GETTY. With the recent acquisition of ConocoPhillips premium assets in the states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania (Mobil brand), LUKOIL Americas is on it’s way to becoming a major force in the Eastern U.S. market.

LUKOIL America’s is a wholly owned subsidiary of LUKOIL Oil Company which is the leading vertically integrated oil company in Russia. Founded in 1991, LUKOIL Oil Company is one of the world’s top five publicly traded oil companies in terms of proven oil reserves. The Company’s retail network of gas stations in the US market will enable it to more efficiently use export facilities of the terminal in Vysotsk (Leningrad region). The transfer of oil products via this terminal will provide for significant increase of shipments of its own products to the United States and Europe.

Russia has been getting it's world power and status back using it's oil and gas supplies to hold countries hostage. Don't let this happen to us.

Stay independent. Support U.S. oil companies.

Al-Qaeda is feeling more confident now that they have won an important election in the U.S. so they can finally get back to their war on terror with their new friends in the white house at the helm. I'm sure they can't wait to get back to the days of 5 or more attacks a year on America like in the good ol' days of the Clinton administration.

They must be salivating at the thought of the Democrats back in the Presidency in 2008. Especially someone like, ah um... another Clinton.

AL-QAEDA CHIEF VOWS TO BLOW UP WHITE HOUSE

AL-QAEDA'S leader in Iraq has vowed his fighters will not rest until they have blown up the White House.

In an audio tape on militant websites, Abu Hamza al-Muhajir claimed to be winning the war in Iraq and said President George Bush was "stupid".

He praised the Republican defeat in the US midterm elections as "reasonable" and claimed the al-Qaeda army has 12,000 fighters in Iraq, ready to die for their cause. The al- Qaeda leader told the US:

"We haven't had enough of your blood yet."

He added: "We will not rest until we have blown up the filthiest house - which is called the White House."

At least eight people were killed and 38 injured by a pair of car bombs in Baghdad yesterday.

A roadside bomb on Friday night also killed a Slovak and Polish soldier south of the capital.

Al-Qaeda gloats over demise of Rumsfeld

AL-QAEDA in Iraq yesterday claimed to be winning the war in Iraq and gloated over the resignation of US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

Amid mounting speculation that the American ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, would become the latest casualty following criticism over US policy in Iraq, al-Qaeda issued a statement clearly designed to take advantage of President George Bush's current plight.

Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri, said: "The American people have put their feet on the right path by ... realising their president's betrayal in supporting Israel. So they voted for something reasonable in the last elections," he said.

He called on Mr Bush to remain "steadfast in the battlefield" so al-Qaeda would have more opportunities to fight his soldiers. "They are getting ready to leave, because they are no longer capable of staying. Remain steadfast in the battlefield you coward."

The US yesterday announced the deaths of three soldiers and one Marine in Iraq, bringing the number of US troops killed this month to 24.

New House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi must agree with this, as she and others in her party have made the same remarks again and again that we are losing this war in Iraq.
