We will be getting our oil from Iraq.., hence the REAL reason for going there...the things the media or Bush doesnt tell you!

This just proves we have to go self-sufficient with the reserves in AK, and increase our coal gasification capacity, and import more from Canada's oil sands in Alberta.

All this, while building more 3rd Gen nuke plants and perfecting fusion by building the ITER (Internatioal Thermonuclear Eperimental Reactor). Kinda makes me want to tell Comair to stuff it after the paycut and go back to school to get an advanced physics degree to go back into the energy field!

Heck, let Iran have nukes, however, send an envoy to tell them, that any use of such weapon will be met by unfathomable measures. Make sure that message gets to the common man as well: "If you use nukes, Allah will be seeing a long line of people waiting, so long they might even run out of virgins".

France, yes those guys, just said as much to the press, we need to do the same.

I saw that TV news magazine piece on Canada's Oil Sands last night - very interesting. Basically, they said Canada will surpass Saudi's oil production. They also said cheap oil is a definite thing of the past so current prices are about as good as we are going to get.

Yea, that would help out, especially the part where Iraqi and Irani citizens become protected under the United States Constitution.

 

[waka]

what a bunch of pay lip service to the "free market" hypocrites!

by some of the simpleton reasoning here, one can be justified by attacking Wal Mart.

Iraninan oil to $100 a barrel? TOUGH! remember, "the market doesn't need regulation because the market can self-regulate"!

take the friggin NGV bus...or at least stop buying 4 gallons to the mile SUV's just to compensate for your small..................................brain

yet another potential war over resources passed off as some whacky moral crusade of "freedom"

idiots

Maybe if we can keep the Mexican Army from invading our country and delivering tons of pot with machine gun topped Humvees, we can start on Iran and China.

Official details Texas-Mexico standoff
By ALICIA A. CALDWELL
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

SIERRA BLANCA, Texas -- Texas law enforcement officers faced off with men dressed as Mexican Army soldiers and apparent drug suspects near the U.S.-Mexican border Tuesday, after three SUVs attempted to flee state authorities, officials said.

Andrea Simmons, an agency spokeswoman in El Paso, told The Associated Press that Texas Department of Public Safety troopers chased three SUVs, believing they were carrying drugs, to the banks of the Rio Grande during Monday's incident.

Men dressed in Mexican military uniforms or camouflage were on the U.S. side of the border in Texas, she said.

Simmons said the FBI was not involved and referred requests for further details to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin of Ontario, Calif., reported Tuesday that the incident included an armed standoff involving the Mexican military and suspected drug smugglers. The incident follows a story in the Bulletin on Jan. 15 that said the Mexican military had crossed into the United States more than 200 times since 1996.

In a news conference, Rick Glancey of the Texas Border Sheriff's Coalition, said three Hudspeth County deputies and at least two Texas Department of Public Safety troopers squared off against at least 10 heavily armed men from the Mexican side of the Rio Grande.


U.S. officials who pursued three fleeing SUVs to the Mexican border saw what appeared to be a Mexican military Humvee help one of the SUVs when it got stuck in the river, he said.

When that didn't work, a group of men dressed in civilian clothes started unloading what appeared to be bundles of marijuana from the SUV, and the stuck vehicle was then torched, he said. A second SUV had a flat tire and was left behind in the United States and its occupant ran across the border, he said.

Glancey said he could not confirm whether the armed men seen at the site were Mexican Army, police officers, or drug dealers, and would not detail what markings deputies may have seen on the men's uniforms or the Humvee.

Chief Deputy Mike Doyal of the Hudspeth County Sheriff's Department said that Mexican army personnel had several mounted machine guns on the ground more than 200 yards inside the U.S. border, the Daily Bulletin newspaper reported earlier.

"It's been so bred into everyone not to start an international incident with Mexico that it's been going on for years," Doyal said. "When you're up against mounted machine guns, what can you do? Who wants to pull the trigger first? Certainly not us."

Hudspeth County Sheriff Arvin West, whose officers were involved in a similar incident last year, said he is certain that Mexican authorities know who was involved.

After the newspaper reported on Mexican military crossings earlier this month, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the report was overblown and most of the incursions were just mistakes.

In eastern California, Arizona and New Mexico, the U.S.-Mexico border is largely unmarked. But in Texas, the Rio Grande separates the two countries and even when dry, is a riverbed about 200 feet wide.

In November, Doyal said Border Patrol agents in the border town of Fort Hancock called for help after confronting more than six men dressed in Mexican military uniforms. The men allegedly were trying to bring more than three tons of marijuana across the Rio Grande, Doyal told the newspaper.
