    You haven't seen this email? (Granted: it deals with Middle Eastern Oil in general, rather than Iraqi oil specifically) [Edit] Snopes says these numbers are inaccurate (but generally true - e.g. Phillips buys some gas from the Middle East, but only 2 million barrels). www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/nogas.htm[^] [/Edit] > GASOLINE SOLUTION! > > We CAN buy gasoline that's not from Middle East. Why > didn't George W. think of this? Gas rationing in the > 80's worked even though we grumbled about it. It > might even be good for us! > > The Saudis are boycotting American goods. We should > return the favor. An interesting thought is to boycott > their GAS. Every time you fill up the car, you can > avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi > Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that don't import > their oil from the Saudis. > > Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that > every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money > to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my > friends.
