#1 McCain too huh? Putting him in the White House will be no victory for Republicans. Only a lesser evil.

#4 Oh yeah, 300,000 barrels a day -- we must have stolen that to satisfy our 20 million barrel a day habit. That's 1.5%. Heck, the Democrats aren't even willing to drill at home for that much.

300,000 bbl/day x $100/bbl x 365 days/yr = $11 billion/year
I think we just found the source of that Iraqi "surplus".

"While White House echelons claim that Iraq's oil wealth has had no place in their 'War on Terror' campaign, Republican presidential candidate John McCain admitted in a May statement that 'American reliance on foreign oil was the prime motive for invading Iraq'."
What is it about Democrats that they can't understand the difference between plundering Iraqi oil and protecting a steady "bought and paid for" flow of oil through the Persian Gulf? Did we fight the Gulf War to take Kuwait's oil? No. Are we buying most of the accounted-for Iraqi oil? No. They are so irrational that we can't risk having a Democrat in the White House. That's just one reason why Sarah Palin is more qualified to be President than any Democrat.
