I wonder if the teamsters have checked out the shoe size of Mullah Shorty Da$$hole, Kerry, Bryd, ChiFi, Boxer and other senators who have pledged their loyalty to the Opecker Princes instead of America! These clowns/anti Americans do more damage to this country each day than the al Qeada thugs do.
Hopefully one day we find the money trail from the Opecker Princes to their mullahs in our Senate and the enviral groups. Both the senators and the enviralists since the 1970's have worked 24/7/365 to make us more dependent on Opecker Oil under the guise of caring for the enivronment. They certainly have not been working for America/Americans by increasing our dependence to Opecker oil since the 1970's!
There is an excellent front page article of today's WSJ on reducing our dependence to Opecker oil that ties in with this and other threads!
To finally win the war on terrorism besides killing all of the al queda, we must have zero dependence to the super rich princes of the Opecker Nations. When they have to leave their chauffered Mercedes by the side of the road, hop on a camel and herd goats again due to zero petro $'s, the middle east financed terrorism will die down and disappear! In the meantime Mullah Shorty Da$$hole continues to work for his masters, the Opecker Princes and keeps us from drilling for oil to reduce our dependence on Opecker Oil.
Slipping below the mainview is Natural Gaas. There was a thread a while back showing even Daschle dealing with the Alaska Senators for a deal on a gas pipeline from the region (and adjacent Canada) through Canada to the U.S. The "Alaska Highway" line. The Alaskans, I heard, wanted a line down to Valdez, "the "Alaskan line" the gas to be LNG'd and shipped by sea. More expensive. If not, they were threatening to tax and otherwise make extra profits. Essentially extortion.
Here's a site I found the Alaska Natural Oil & Gas Reporter - Natural Gas Page.
Seems to show the truth of such.
Natural Gas is a big story. (Which, Grampa D., the WSJ article did not cover well, IMO.) Another reason why you might be hearing less push for the oil line than one would expect. Give Daschle a victory for the "environmentalists" - The deal's done for gas in the same region!
