CHINA is now the largest consumer of oil, and COINCIDENTALLY this is where
all your jobs are going.

{snip}

China's fast-growing economy has overtaken Japan to become the world's second largest consumer of crude oil after the US, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Chinese government.


Latest IEA estimates say China consumed 5.46m barrels a day last year, compared with Japan's 5.43m b/d. In the last quarter of 2003, the IEA says, China was the "main driver of global oil demand growth".

AND this completely correlates with the Silk Road proposal by Unocal in congress in 1998...

Now, granted, we know now that the proposed Silk Road was a failure; the oil hoped for in the "Istan's" didn't pan out in quality or quantity, reinforcing the need to invade and plunder iraq.

All the pieces of the puzzle come together.

Especially Neil Bush's 'work' in china and now in iraq.
