To: Convert from ECUSA

In the meantime why not let the Arabs drink oil martinis while we get all our oil from ANWR and Mexico?

Yeah, but Mexico isn't a whole lot better than Saudi Arabia and the sheiks.

It's time to remind the Saudis that there are no rivers to irrigate their land. Where do they get their food? Let's see how long they can last without importing food. If they want a trade war. Give them one.

Mexico is just as much of a problem maybe even more so. It is doing everything it can to keep the border wide open for illegals both those of Mexican nationality as well as others. Muslim fascist know this.

ANWAR is another matter. I have no objection to drilling in ANWAR but I doubt the oil that is pumped there will be sold here in the lower 48. Remember the Alaska pipeline, all the political blood on the floor over that, well almost all the oil goes to Japan and other countries where they are willing to pay higher prices. It would relieve some of the pressure on the overall price but not by a great deal and they can compensate putting us right back where we started. The oil companies will make a lot of money and we will drain our biggest reserve which we may need for a bigger crisis.

Like I said I don't object but don't expect anything to change.
