Al Qaeda group calls for attacks on U.S. oil sources?

Question

I found this on CNN. I think it's very serious. How about you?

I think this is about power. Right now oil powers the US.

This originally came from Reuters.

Answer 1

In the Name of God the Most merciful!
First of all the group called for attacks against US oil sources and facilities related to oil supply is a Saudi branch of al-Qaeda, which has been tacit for a couple of years.
Second, they have already staged a thwarted attack on Abqaiq oil refining facility in Saudi Arabia in 2005. This is the biggest oil factory in the world, according to some estimates.
The threat we review here has appeared long time ago. First in a form of debates on Islamist web-sites, now in the magazine Voice of Jihad.
How serious is this threat? It is quite a case. Since American interests in the Middle East are primarily of energy resources, the possible strikes against oil facilities, tankers, pipelines are very likely. But this may not drive US into immediate collapse since Americans possess huge oil reserves and get oil supply mainly from Canada, then Mexico and Venezuela. However, it would be devastating id terrorists attack Canadian or Mexican facilities. That would be a disaster.
Peace be upon You!

We need to go to hybrid cars now! and buses as well! we already have electric trains eh?
However we will need Jet fuel so we need to get a new source till we can find something new? I believe that nuclear power thing is because we will be funding a new form of energy for air travel as well! Wait and see! Solar power as well! and Bush did not think of this ever! This was a long time coming he just jumped on to look good! We are in trouble yes and the other source for oil is Venezuela eh? Ha ha Bush screwed that up a long time ago and they won't forget? Guess we will have to uncap some fields here for now and pray and hope we can win against the real Infidels! Not us! Them! Al Qaeda! Look up the defination? The shoe fits them well! They are using religion to a downfall of all religions and that is a danger as well to us! There God is no God! Keep the faith we will win! Don't compromise your faith to accept their lies either! I don't respect any Islamic ever, they are a lost Godless people! Yet they may believe they are right does not make it so! I hate these compromising Jackasses! Peace, Love , Tranquility! get real! No God kills women for embarrassing a man! No God enforces the clipping of a woman's genatals? No God makes their children commit suicide for embarrassing their family? If so what about Cain killing Abel? They are murderers and they know it! They are Satans breed come to play havoc on us with their Chaotic Ways! Be prepared for more of their magic tricks like the WTC? An implosion from the inside? hmmmm?
Someone is a traitor here and we need to find out who they are and lock their butts up quick! It could be they are inevitably going to attack but we need to find out where? Ask Bush Clan to spy over there and not on our own people? Use that Satellite he uses to spy on our Stock Market bids? eh? Like Reagan and Bush Sr. did and used the War on drugs to get a blanket warrant? Well Junior did not get that warrant we told him no way! But he is doing it anyway to find out who knows what about him and his buddies? Think about it? Skull and Bones? Illuminaties?

Answer 3

The United States must prepare for the threat of Al Qaeda to attack on oil sources. They must be serious on this threat because the terrorists say what they mean.

Answer 4

That's nothing new.

OBL said a few years ago his goal is to defeat the US by driving it into bankruptcy because he realizes, unlike the shrill right-wing lunatics, that al qaeda can never defeat us militarily.

Driving up the price of oil, spreading panic among the sheeple, and luring our half-wit president into an unnecessary and unwinnable war in Iraq are good ways for al qaeda to achieve their goal.

Answer 5

I think we need to take Al Qaeda extremely seriously. And would the people giving the thumbs down kindly tell us what we are going to do without oil? I know it is so evil and all, but that bottled water you like to drink comes in plastic bottles which are made from oil.

Answer 6

Stand with "us"? So the question is will the "international" (each and every u . s .'s voters and authorities administration) help a US militia reaction to an attack on oil extraction, refining, distribution infrastructure it is owned through businesses registered in the U. S. ( businesses "owned" through shareholders from everywhere in the international)? Such an attack would financially harm the organization shareholders and the U. S. gov't (from, a minimum of, lost company tax sales). The question presupposes there are in trouble-free terms 2 states to make certain on from: "with us" or "hostile to us". i wager, then, my answer is i'd be hostile to you because i does no longer be with you. i'm fascinated about major destabilization of global oil resources. A next bounce in gasoline costs mightcontinual a relief in intake and and enhance in learn and adoption of different power furnish fashions. How well timed this may be with our international warming predicament. certain, economies would recede. that would play to the great aspect about the ecosystem to boot. So quite of ingesting avocados and oranges trucked 3000kms north from Mexico i am going to no longer be figuring out to purchase them because they are going to be too expensive, or i am going to eat ones grown regionally in new-market eco-friendly-houses that use electricity generated from hydro-electric powered, image voltaic, wind or (gasp) nuclear... that popped-up because they without caution grew to grow to be economically conceivable. because the age of oil... the business revolution... we've popped the lid of this CO2 bottle suggested as earth. too a lot is escaping too quick with nowhere to bypass. it's time to placed the lid again on, and go away it on. conflict through now or conflict through later...a lot, a lot worse. awaken and comprehend the actual cost of our dependence on oil is completely the most important threat to "freedom"....and that the concept of "freedom", as looks ubiquitous to the psyche of people is, basically, unrealistic and impractical.

Answer 7

Well, let's see, if they plan on attacking sites in Canada and Mexico then I guess that makes Bush's theory of fighting them over there rather than fighting them here look rather silly.

Answer 8

What do you expect. They know oil is the reason why we are in their countries and invading their countries and for no other reason. The oil wars are here.

Answer 9

what do you expect? They have been attacking oil rigs, pipelines, wells, and anything else they can find to hinder oil production, before you and I even knew there was a terrorist problem.
but yet, this war isn't about oil...hmmm

Answer 10

Are they not doing it??? Its definitely true and scary but thats what terrorist do they terrorize people, innocent civilians and even their own breed.
