We all should remember the rumors from the left this time last year that the Bush administration had made a secret deal with the Saudis to generate a drop in gas prices in the weeks before the election to secure a victory. It was not true. As the election actually drew near the Kerry camp began asking why the administration did not put pressure on the Saudis to lower the price of oil. They want it both ways.
We all should remember the cries of the liberal left that Bush led us to war for the oil in Iraq. It was not true. We have not taken a drop of oil from Iraq. We then heard the cries of "why haven't we taken the oil from Iraq" when oil prices skyrocketed. They want it both ways.
We all should remember the left's defense of the barren ANWAR region as they obstructed Bush's energy policy. They did, however, want us to tap the strategic oil reserves so that we can continue to drive at less than $2 a gallon. Fortunately the reserves are regarded by the Bush administration as "for emergency use only". . .
