Al Qaida Targets US Oil Interests In North Africa: Report

Reuters:

Al Qaeda's growing north Africa network plans to attack U.S. interests seeking control of the region's energy riches, its Algerian-based leader said in remarks published on Tuesday.

The network of militants from Mauritania to Libya sees U.S. interests as legitimate targets because Washington backed the region's "criminal" governments and stole Algerian oil, the New York Times quoted Abdelmalek Droukdel as saying.

Wait, wait... what do you mean?! The posters here think that Al Qaeda doesn't exist. Please don't post such disturbing news at Huffpo anymore. It might make some people cry .....

How amazing, Al Qaeda is not working for big oil, helping to raise their profits. Well, I am pretty sure they really arent, but their name is! Looks like big oil has picked up the tricks of the Bush administration or using Al Qaeda to promote their own interest, Al Qaeda should copyright their name so every time someone uses their name, they get a dime from it. No , thats not a good idea, then they might become the organization that Bush and Neo Cons want us to believe they are now.

If we grew HEMP here in almost if not every state, then had we would have a fail safe system with local refineries for both bio diesel as well as cellulose fuel...

Hemp is the #1 Bio-mass plant on Earth it renews every 4 months and creates 10 tons of bio mass per acre and 380 gallons of automotive fuel per acre..also it eats tons of CO2 and creates loads of oxygen and this is not what is smoked to get high so why are we being so stupid abut this incredibly important easy to grow crop...?

Al Qaeda would discover the crop and burn it to the groud to get even with the evil Americains.
