The world has entered into a global conflict with an enemy that has the ability to fade into the shadows, only to emerge when a target of opportunity becomes evident. These terrorists select targets based upon the greatest impact upon the rest of us. A well-organized terrorist organization has found the method of bringing the world to its economic knees: denying the industrial world of its most needed commodity-oil. This denial is accomplished by selection of three vital choke points and destroying them. It is of paramount importance that the United States government takes swift and decisive action to restore the flow of oil and eliminate the terrorist element. The terrorist elements must be completely eliminated, or there will be continuous and unacceptable repetitive acts of terrorism.
