- how many billion do you figure it would take for a foreign entity to wound the American economy, with malice aforethought? And, any guesses on what company will be the next target? I’m thinking whoever they is, they *really* need to try to torpedo Big Oil.

Its already been done for a couple of decades. You are an OPEC state. You want to drive up the price of oil and place America at a strategic disadvantage. You fund environmental groups, lots of them. You support liberal senators who grow more and more “green”. For a relatively minor cost you tie up 90 percent of offshore drilling potential, put oil shale sites off limits, and demonize an industry which has fairly good paying jobs – that can’t be exported and contributed to our preeminent economy.
