#2 An interesting piece but I'd be more interested if it said U.S. to achieve energy independence in the next decade.

#3 Some people said all along the Afghan war was all about the oil. They'll claim this is proof they were right. They'll be wrong, but that won't matter.

#4 If it were all about the oil, I could think of cheaper ways to get it than to pay for a war.

Yup, that seems to be a rut that the left is stuck in and can't get out of.

#6 I need to get Barak on the phone, if this is true we're paying about a $2000 a barrel for the oil. That's too much.

I think some of the guys to the left of me in politics only have a single sheet of paper in their play book. AND that only has has three things on it:

Global warming

Blood for oil

Quagmire.

Sad, you would think they could think of something new with all of their ivy league degrees and dissertations.
