China accuses Bush administration of supporting Israel to aid Oil Companies

China has been showing more interest in the Gaza conflict than it traditionally has. "We grieve over the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip," Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gan said at a regular press briefing last week. "We appeal to relevant parties to immediately stop military actions."

Beijing has also pledged one million US dollars of emergency humanitarian aid to the Palestinian National Authority and promised it will send more in the future.

Some Chinese newspapers have speculated that the Gaza conflict and its "price-inflating" effects were timed as a "parting gift" by the "Bush dynasty" to the U.S. oil majors. "The traditional mode of crisis the region has slipped into cannot disguise the war over petrol that is going on," said a commentary in the China Times. Read here for more info.

This argument seems valid especially considering all the evidence that leads to support this conclusion. The Bush regime has truly sickened me to the point of utter disgust. Take a look at the evidence for China's telling statements towards the current administrations undeniable agenda:

- The US has invaded Afghanistan under the false premise of wanting to overthrow the Taliban and fight terrorism. How much terrorism do you see coming from a third world country like Afghanistan and why after eight years are we still there? Hmmm... seems like an occupation to me.

- The US has invaded Iraq under the false premise of Iraq having weapons of mass destruction and to capture one of the top three members of the OPEC organization that sets oil prices. Iraq is 2nd only to Saudi Arabia as far as Oil Market Share within OPEC. And again, why after eight years are we still there?

- The Bush administration, under the guise of 'Fighting Terrorism' is now encouraging action against other Middle East countries like Iran (A major OPEC member - 3rd largest member after Sudia Arabia and Iraq). If the US invades Iran, they will then control almost the equivalent Oil Market Share withinin OPEC as Saudia Arabia.

While OPEC produces nearly 40 percent of the world’s oil, the US Energy Information Administration estimates that OPEC producers have around two-thirds of the world’s oil reserves. The bulk of the world’s estimated oil reserves are located in the Middle East, especially in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and Kuwait. Indeed the BP 2008 Statistical Review of World Energy shows that these four OPEC countries alone have half the world’s estimated known oil reserves, with around 618 billion bbl. Read more here.

Here is an older pie chart of OPEC Market Share:


- The Bush administration, while American were concerned with the US election and because of a loophole in US law, has passed 96 or more 'Midnight Laws' that will go into affect shortly and benefit his corporate buddies like the oil companies. Some of the laws will enable the following:

• Make it easier for coal companies to dump waste from strip-mining into valleys and streams.
  
  
• Ease the building of coal-fired power stations nearer to national parks.
  
  
• Allow people to carry loaded and concealed weapons in national parks.
  
  
• Open up millions of acres to mining for oil shale.
  
  
• Allow healthcare workers to opt out of giving treatment for religious or moral reasons, thus weakening abortion rights.
  
  
• Hurt road safety by allowing truck drivers to stay at the wheel for 11 consecutive hours.

Now ask yourself, who are these laws going to benefit? Now ask yourself, based on the above info, what drives the actions of the Bush administration? He is truly the worst US president in history.

I don't know how this guy got re-elected for a second term--- well actually he lost the popular vote. The people actually voted for Al Gore. However, the electoral votes from the elected officials gave the win to George Bush. This reminds me of a quote by Henry Ford, "People deserve the government they get." Let us fellow Americans make sure something like this never happens again.

To add further insult to the damage already, can you believe this idiot president, as he makes his crawl out of the presidency, states that he would like to see his family's 'legacy' continue and that his brother, Jeb Bush, would make a great president.
