re: #165 Obdicut

Sure they would. They could still alter the world price of oil. That’s what matters, not whether the particular barrel you’re using was pumped out of the ground at place X or place Y.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t you one of the lizards who a while back argued strenuously that the Saudis and even OPEC do NOT control the price of oil?
Besides, if you don’t buy your oil from them, then you won’t need to kow tow to them any more. Just run some more pipelines up here and we’ll fill’em for you.
