wrong thread, goofcock.

In that article mrdoboilna it says that France and Italy were the only two nations who refused to cooperate with the contractual changes.
Sixteen firms however complied including Chevron. Chevron. Hmm? Where is Chevron? California.
As far as I could 'wrap my head around' that article the U.S. portion of that oil in Venezuela is minimal to say the least.

are you really taking the side that US oil companies do not want to re-privatize venezuelas oil?

(Sep 21 06, 11:38)Really mrdobolina cause Crouwel posted this above. You were talking to him right?
Keep making yourself look like an ass today, you're really on a roll.
"Often contrarian, Turner called it a "joke" that Bush demanded that Iran abandon any ambitions for nuclear weapons while at the same time hoping to ban all such bombs.
"They're a sovereign state," Turner said of Iran. "We have 28,000. Why can't they have 10? We don't say anything about Israel -- they've got 100 of them approximately -- or India or Pakistan or Russia. And really, nobody should have them."
i agree though.
nobody should have them. and if we do, any souvereign state should have the right to defend themselves.

You have your head so far up your own ass you no longer have any idea what the hell you're talking about. You're just writing to write now.
For the sake of the PVN I'm going to casualy stroll out of this thread now, you can't have a civilized conversation with anyone anymore and make no sense whatsoever.
Later hater.

(Sep 21 06, 11:50)Earned it? If by earned you mean he bought out and manhandled smaller companies out of business then yes. When walmart did it you all crapped your panties, when Ted did it he somehow earned it?!? Ok, I'm starting to see how you guys work.
Walmart = big business
Teddy = one guy (although he actually IS big business)I see.

You are a complete fucking hypocrite and a complete waste of my time.

with the oil prices rising(on average), worse and harder to extract oil becomes economical. the middle east(saudi arabia) and its OPEC specialize in light cude. as the prices rise canada with its oil sands become economical which gives it a lead over saudi arabia and iraq as the biggest potential reserve. however raise the average price a little more and venezuela with its heavy oil becomes economical to produce. venezuela has 1.36 trillion barrells of heavy oil. thats more that the oil industry originally predicted was in the earth total. awesome for venezuela, shitty for the middle east. the oil companies want back into venezuela. they dont want to be taxed for their small share of what they have now, because it keeps money in the country intead of going to the US then coming back in the form of high interest loans. as a result of this "nationalization" of the oil, venezuela's economy grew an astounding 14% in 2004 and an amazing 9% in 2005. This is because 20% of the new revenue generate by the larger amount the government is taking from the internation(US) oil companies is directly invested back into the population. Chavez isnt a socialist, he is a "european-style" socialist, as in its not real socialism because it still relies on markets which fundamentaly creates inequalities. although chavez' new markets arent the neo-liberal free markets the US is used to shoving down peoples throats, so the US is pissed because they lose out on the profits from venezuela's 90% of all heavy oil reserves in the world. the US is mad because chavez is disrupting the prevailing monetary flow from latin american countries by not only his oil but by using it to pay off his county's and several others'(ecuador, argentina, etc.) international debts.

eh, in fact, they did.
read up and you'll find that all of these countries used and/or supported terror in the past for their interests...

btw, his deal with russia was worth $3 billion. their army wasnt that good to begin with. compare that to the half trillion spent each year by the US, NOT counting ongoing combat costs.
