Liberated Iraq calls on Arab states to use oil as weapon against US
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/11...on-against-us/

A top Iraqi diplomat urged Arab states to “use the weapon of oil” against the United States because of its alliance with Israel, raising more questions about the Middle Eastern nation's allegiance to the country that freed it from a ruthless dictatorship. The shocking statement from a democratic government in power only after the U.S. and allies ousted murderous dictator Saddam Hussein in a costly and bloody war laid bare the Middle Eastern nation’s true allegiance. "Iraq will invite (Arab) ministers to use the weapon of oil, with the aim of asserting real pressure on the United States and whoever stands with Israel," Qais al-Azzawy told reporters in Cairo on Friday. "The economic weapon is the strongest one to be put into effect now, to assure of standing by the Palestinian people, in light of there being no military power that can stand in the face of Israel at the present time,” he added. - FOXNews

We only get 12% of our oil from the Mid East. Most of there oil go's to Europe and China. We are producing more oil and soon will be the worlds largest oil producer.

They can't stop producing oil for long. Their entire economy is based on it. They have no other industry.

Not to mention that most of their oilfield development is being done by western contractors, many from the US.

If Israel was smart, they would put a nuclear cap in those Arabs oil wells and make them go back to eating sand fleas.
