It’s not about our taking their oil. It’s about seeing that the oil is not in control of Al Qaeda, as it would love to see in Saudi Arabia.

What would we do, wait for Saddam Hussein to march back into Kuwait and make a run for Saudi Arabia’s oil fields before we took action.

People who insist the Saudi Royal family ought to be brought down never see that OBL wants that more than anything.

“The phony energy crises we have exists only for politics.”

One more thing than politics. Profit.

IBM ran a full page ad in Automotive News bragging that you and I and our neighbors will spend $105,000,000,000 (billion) on being green (not dressing like Kermit the frog but paying dues to the Global Warming idol)

And I understand completely why Alaska wanted to secede from the mainland USA.

Why should the already-strapped consumer spend many thousands of dollars more for a hybrid car?

In order for “U.S.” automakers to compete, they will have to move more production overseas.

As I understand it: these hybrid and electric cars do not
generate a profit!
