This past weekend, Saudi Arabia rounded up, arrested or kiled, 7 terrrorist cells, linked to Al-Queda, totaling 172 men, dug up caches of weapons and explosives , and $5+ MILLION from the desert sands.
Their reported training, recently, in IRAQ.
Their reported goals, destruction of Saudi OIL PRODUCTION, in hijacked airliner-style attacks (a-la-9/11).
Just how much Saudi oil production would have to be destroyed to immediately send the price of a barrell of oil to $100+???
I'd wager that 172 guys, in a number of aircraft, could destroy PLENTY of it.
Try $6 a gallon gasoline.
$7 a gallon diesel.
Double the cost of heating oil.
Try adding 50% to doubling the cost of just about everything due to that doubled diesel fuel transport cost.
Still gonna buy an airline ticket when the price of THAT sucker doubles from the doubled fuel cost?
Still gonna DRIVE on that vacation at double the gasoline cost?
Apparently our govt has (very rightly) been "war-gaming" the war on terror, to try to predict moves, to try to come up with counter-moves to terrorist acts, and the one thing they haven't been able to find a work-arround to is a sudden spike in oil pricing to $11-$120 a barrell. The US economy FOLDS.
They don't have to come HERE Ultra, this should concern you.
