Too bad, I was just getting used to cheaper gas prices.

Can anyone spell ANWR?

I was wondering when they'd drive prices up!

ANWR is a four letter word to Tom Daschle.

I'd like to suggest that we try and put ourselves on self imposed gas rations.

Some of the Islamic nations have called for boycotts of American products. I think its time we did the same, and that goes for oil, too.

Be as economic as you can with your gas usage. It's time they found out that we CAN survive without them. We CAN find other ways of heating homes..wood burning stoves and fireplaces, steam heat, solar.... we CAN cut back on needless driving.... I'm sure there are other ways but these will help for starters.

Each time you choose to not drive, consider that you are preventing them from making a dollar. It will add up.

Self-imposed gas rations sounds too much like the Carter administration.

VP Cheney revealed the mindset of this administration when he derided conservation measures a few months ago.

If you are an oilman, you want people to use oil—period.

This mentality is not going to change at the top, no matter what. Grassroots movements might make a fleeting impact in terms of reducing consumption, but this is not the game plan of those in charge.

The plan is to subdue Central Asia and make it safe for investment of the majors and be on standby to seize the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia at a moment's notice if the KSA should fall.

I just hope our military is up to the tasks being assigned it. It is a tall order to stabilize a petroleum empire and keep it that way.

I remember the rations of the Carter administration, and have no problem with it.

Yeah I know.... made me chuckle when he said it! Gee, I wonder why he wants to promote buying over priced oil????? Could it be that someone he knows might have a vested interest in oil??????

This administration has tried to cutback the amount of funds the terrorists have by freezing their assets. Bring them to their knees via lack of funds. So, why is this theory not good for OPEC????

OK now is the time to STOP these b*st*Rds and developed alternate sources. Do we like being gouged by these yahoos? Our goal should be to make Saudi Arabia's biggest and only export Cat Litter.

Own a van or SUV? Park it unless you're doing something which requires it. Get a dodge neon or a motorcycle for all the bombing around with just yhou in the vehicle.

So what? This has been a fact of life since the seventies. If you don't like it, cut out your driving. Only liberals whine about high gas prices. Any knowledgeable person knows that cartels price increases cannot be sustained, simply because it is anathema to what they want: HI OUTPUT, HI PRICES. The market ALWAYS will overrule any cartel actions in the longer run. Cartel pricing is a pyrrhic victory.

After making my last post I wondered, 'When is trading with the enemy NOT trading with the enemy?' When you want something they have. Could this be why we haven't or WON'T declare war on some of these nations? Because then if we bought their oil we'd be technically trading with the enemy? Granted only 'some' of the people from these nations have declared war on the US, but what does that tell you when the host nation doesn't DO anything about these 'people'?? That they quietly sanction the idea?

HI OUTPUT, HI PRICES

And when they 'cutback' output???? Higher prices still! LOL

Yeah, unleaded regular was as low as 97.9 cents at a few stations around here yesterday. Georgia has a low state tax on gasoline.

Yes... Drillnowdammit.

[McGavin999]

It's their oil, they can do what they want. Of course, it will be seen as a hostile act to the American people who are already looking askance at the ME.

[facedown]

Spot on!

[RickyJ]

It's their oil, they can do what they want.

If this war escalates it could all soon be OUR oil.

Anyone who is opposed to drilling in ANWR or anywhere else there is oil in the USA is not only a terrorist supporter, but a terrorist themselves. Remember, no distinction is made between the terrorist and those who harbor them.
