FLASHBACK: Ten Years Ago, Bin Laden Demanded Barrel Of Oil Should Cost $144
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/07/05/bin-laden-144-oil/In a 1998 interview, Osama bin Laden â the terrorist organizer of 9/11 who still roams free â listed as one of his many grievances against the U.S. that Americans âhave stolen $36 trillion from Muslimsâ by purchasing oil from Persian Gulf countries at low prices. The real price of a barrel of oil should be $144, bin Laden demanded.
Ten years ago today, the price of a barrel of oil was just $11. Heading into this holiday weekend, the price of a barrel of oil rested at $144 â a thirteen-fold increase.
The terorist has already won with the help of the Liar and Thief and Dead Eye Dick.
Now let's see.....who has gained due to the wars........hmm........I can only think of the oil companies and private firms like Haliburton..........hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
