OPEC's Thank You Note to the U.S. Congress

Dear Infidels:

The OPEC minister may look you in the eye and say, "We are at war with you infidels and have been since the embargo in the 1970s. You are so arrogant, you haven't even recognized it. You have more missiles, bombs, and technology; so we are fighting with the best weapon we have and extracting on a net basis about $700 billion/year out of your economy.

We will destroy you! Death to the infidels!

While I am here I would like to thank you for the following: Not developing your 250-300 year supply of oil shale and tar sands.

We know if you did this, it would create thousands of jobs for U.S. citizens, expand your engineering capabilities, and keep the wealth in the U.S. instead of sending it to us to finance our war against you infidels.

Thanks for limiting defense department purchases of oil sands from your neighbors to the north. We love it when you confuse your allies.

Thanks for over regulating every segment of your economy and thus delaying, by decades, the development of alternate fuel technologies.

Thank you for caving into environmentalist whackos by limiting drilling off shore, in Alaska, or anywhere there is a bug, bird, fish, or plant that might be inconvenienced. Better humans suffer and you get re-elected. Glad to see our lobbying efforts have been so effective.

More refineries?

Nuclear power?

Both bad ideas.

Corn based Ethanol?

This sham is a gift from Allah. It uses more energy than it produces and simultaneously drives up food prices.

Perhaps you will destroy yourself from the inside with these types of policies. This is a gift from Allah, praise his name!

We never would have thought of this one!

This is better than when you pay your farmers NOT TO GROW FOOD. Have them use more energy to create less energy, and simultaneously drive up food prices.

Thank you, U.S. Congress!

And finally, we appreciate you letting us fleece you without end.

You will be glad to know we have been accumulating shares in your banks, real estate, and publicly held companies.

We also finance a good portion of your debt and now manipulate your markets, currency, and economies for our benefit.

"THANK YOU, AMERICA!"

You stupid fools!

Praise Allah!
