But then again the US might come over to help "liberate" the maoris and "secure" the oil...

Can't really win can you

Yep. I don't think people should be spreading the word that there's oil in NZ when GW is in the midst of invading every oil-rich nation he can find. Suddenly he'll be sending troops here to look for WMD in Arthur's Pass.

Yep, and like all others who tried entering with honest intentions - he failed.

Drat!

Yeah I know its popular to think the Americans are invading to control the worlds oil. However, off the top of my head, here are some of the oil producing countries:

Norway
Britain
Mexico
Nigeria
Australia
Libya
Algeria
Venezeula
Canada
Ukraine

No American liberation forces in any of these countries.

Well, the Brit and the Aussie PMs are so far up GW's arse it almost counts as oral sex, Hell, they'd give him the oil as a "luff you 4 eva" present...

The CIA is still trying to find the rest...

Venezuela and its President, Hugo Chavez, are not exactly Top of the Pops as far as the US is concerned.

The US is already playing the democracy card against Venezuela.

Whether we'll ever see any overt action against Venezuela is one thing, but the US is no doubt working very hard to bring "democracy" to the country.

Don't need to nationalise the oil, it's already Crown domain.

Government calls for tenders to build and operate pumping/refining facilities. Successful tenderer (doubtless foreign corporation) to build facilities, and operate same, in return for annual fixed fee.

All tenders will of course be ripoffs. Accept highest (yes, highest). Once facilities are built and operating, nationalise same. Without compensation. Sorted, and serves them right.

Communism. The only way that works for workers.
