Uncle Moneybags

Now there is this report card from the 9/11 commision about how the government is doing in acting on the points to secure the nation and fight terrorism. I heard one editorial dude say that we should give more weight to the A grade the government recieved on cutting of terrorist funding. Most of the other grades were failing. What in the holy hell is this man thinking. That A grade is an illusion. This is simple. The U.S. can control terrorist funding in US based accounts and maybe some overseas accounts with international cooperation. But I suspect that the majority of terrorist funding comes from the rich in the region itself. And where do those rich get their money? If you haven't figured this out yet your an idiot. Petroleum consumption. How anyones gets an A grade for curtailing terrorism funding when we still run a petroleum based energy economy is beyond me. The petroleum consumption spawned so many other sources of money that some people forget their source. Just think what would happen to terrorist funding if the whole world suddenly didn't buy oil. Besides, whith Russi and China purchasing the U.S. can't alone make a reasonable dent in terrorist group funding. How in the hell do they get an A grade.
