The sad thing is they since have discovered and developed massive oil and gas deposits and now hold many countries hostage with the threat of witholding these assets.

Whats really sad is that the Democrats block all efforts to drill our own oil and refine it here forcing us to buy oil from some of the worst governments in the world. We could be putting our people to work and in control of our own future. Would we even be in the middle East if we could develop our own oil? The liberals always create the problems and then point fingers.
