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????
