BTW, you may be interested in knowing that the US is not as dependent on ME oil as in the past. The largest supplier of imported US oil is now, um, Canada (18%), having surpassed Saudi Arabia (13%), and our percentage is only going to go up, what with the Athabasca Oil Sands’ production ramping up significantly. (Canada also supplies an even bigger share of US natural gas imports).

That’s Canada - providing a safe, secure supply of oil and gas so the US can wean itself off the unreliable ME.

You’re welcome.

Sure we get oil from Canada.....
We also have to rely on drug ridden Mexico and Muslim Arabs and Hugo Chavez.....UNLIKE YOU DOPES up north. You get all your oil from Canada where you just happen to live

So you can moralize and spout crap about Jews and wars in Iraq because you supply all your own energy... MORON! Unlike you cowards we deal with the world and do things. You can just sit on your asses and meditate and drink Molson’s and Labatt’s

Great. So if Saddam had remained in power, restarted WMD programs, and got himself into another Mideast war, and ending up taking a fair share of Mideast oil off the market, and oil shot up to several hundred dollars a barrel, you good hearted Canuks would have kept selling it to us at $50 or $60 dollars, ignoring 20 million screaming Europeans begging you to take 10 times as much?

Big of ya. As if.
