And to sit by and do nothing while thousands are trafficked is tantamount to being the pimp

CONTENTION ONE IS THE US ADDICTION TO MIDDLE EASTERN OIL…
UNLESS ACTION IS TAKEN, THE US DEPENDENCE ON MIDDLE EASTERN OIL WILL SKYROCKET IN UPCOMING YEARS
LUFT 05 (Dr. Gal, Executive Director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, “America’s oil dependence and its implications for U.S. Middle East policy,” Presented before the Senate Foreign Relations Sub-Committee on October 20, 2005).
"As consumer of...the world economy."
AND WE MUST EXPECT FURTHER TERRORIST ATTACKS BECAUSE OF INTELLIGENCE GAPS
QDR 06 (Donald, Secretary of Defense, “Chairman’s Assessment of the 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review,”, 2006)
"It is extremely...and abet them."
THEREFORE IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE US SHIFT ITS DEPENDENCY ON OIL FROM THE MIDDLE EAST TO AFRICA
IVES 05 (Ryan, projects analyst with Novonics Corporation, has an Master’s degree in national security studies from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, “Diversifying The Oil Supply,” International Affairs Review, 2005)
“The Bush Administration…on the Gulf region.”
THUS THE PLAN: THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES SHOULD ISSUE AN EXECUTIVE ORDER MANDATING THAT A CONTINGENT OF MARINES BE ESTABLISHED ON BIOKO, EQUATORIAL GUINEA.
CONTENTION TWO IS TERRORISM AND WE OUTLINE TWO SCENARIOS…
SCENARIO ONE: DOMESTIC ATTACKS
US PETRODOLLARS ARE FINANCING MIDDLE EASTERN TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS
LUFT 05 (Dr. Gal, Executive Director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, “America’s oil dependence and its implications for U.S. Middle East policy,” Presented before the Senate Foreign Relations Sub-Committee on October 20, 2005).
“These projections require… and its allies.”
AND A TERRORIST ATTACK WOULD KILL MILLIONS, THRUST MILLIONS INTO POVERTY, AND COLLAPSE THE WORLD ECONOMY, AND THE MAGNITUDE OUTWEIGHS THE PROBABILITY ALLISON 06 (Graham, Director of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Founding Dean of Harvard’s JFK School of Government and Former Assistant Secretary of Defense in the first Clinton Administration, “The Ongoing Failure of Imagination,” 2006)
“A nuclear terrorist… be fractured husks.”
AND TERRORISM IS A REAL THREAT BECAUSE IT IS EASY FOR TERRORISTS TO GET WEAPONS AND DETONATE THEM
HERBERT 07 (H. Josef Hebert, Associated Press Writer, 9/26/07, Washington Dateline, “Report: Nuclear Terror Threat Realâ€, Associated Press Online)
“While there has… steal such material.”
AND TERRORISM OUTWEIGHS ALL SYSTEMIC IMPACTS PROVING MAGNITUDE OUTWEIGHS THE TIMEFRAME LAQUEUR 96 (Walter, Chairman of the International Research Council at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, “Postmodern Terrorism,” Foreign Affairs, Sept.-Oct. p.36 1996)
“All that leads… has yet experienced.“
SCENARIO TWO: FOREIGN ATTACKS
UNLESS THE US STOPS BUYING MIDDLE EASTERN OIL, TERRORIST ATTACKS ON MIDDLE EASTERN FACILITIES WILL LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC OIL SHOCKS THAT WILL TANK THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY COHEN 07(Ariel, Ph.D, Senior Research Fellow in Russian and Eurasian Studies and International Energy Security in the Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies, “The National Security Consequences of Oil Dependency,” May 14, 2007)
“The Middle East's…for the global economy”
AND OIL SCARCITY AND PRICE SPIKES FROM ATTACKS WILL TRIGGER GLOBAL RESOURCE WARS
KLARE 05 (Michael T. Klare is a professor of peace and world security studies at Hampshire College and the author of Blood and Oil: The Dangers and Consequences of America's Growing Dependency on Imported Oil (Metropolitan Books) among other works, The Intensifying Global Struggle for Energy.

AND ECONOMIC COLLAPSE LEADS TO EXTINCTION
BEARDEN 00 (Tom, Lieutenant Colonel US Army, “The Unneccessary Energy Crisis and How to Solve It,”, June 24, 2000)
“History bears out…for many decades”

“Read between the lines…the Middle East”
CONTENTION THREE IS SOLVENCY…
BECAUSE EQUATORIAL GUINEA IS UNSTABLE THE US NEEDS TO INCREASE MILITARY ASSITANCE IN ORDER TO INCREASE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SECURE OIL RESERVES WHICH IS KEY TO DECREASING DEPENDENCE ON MIDDLE EASTERN OIL
IVES 05 (Ryan, projects analyst with Novonics Corporation, has an Master’s degree in national security studies from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, “Diversifying The Oil Supply,” International Affairs Review, 2005)
“Equatorial Guinea’s oil…effective defensive skills”
AND IMPORTING OIL FROM WEST AFRICA IS BETTER THAN GETTING IT FROM THE PERSIAN GULF AND THE AFRICANS WOULD REAP MANY BENEFITS FROM IT COHEN 07(Ariel, Ph.D, Senior Research Fellow in Russian and Eurasian Studies and International Energy Security in the Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies, “The National Security Consequences of Oil Dependency,” May 14, 2007)
“As the 2001…to its dictates”
AND INCREASED OIL INVESTMENT EQUALS INCREASED PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEMS EQUATORIAL GUINEAN EMBASSY 07 (Publishing of the Equatorial Guinean Embassy, Washington DC, October 30, 2007)
“In 1995 Equatorial…of the country”
