Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

Must be an old article if Spain is still on the list.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war.

Nowhere close. We spend billions on foreign aid each year. We've spent hundreds of billions on the war.

We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska - which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come.

No. Oil from ANWR would help, but it won't replace all the oil we get from Mexico, Canada, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and everywhere else - especially for decades.

You know the salt lands in Canada propose a very nice option. At least ANWR would be a good stepping stone. We'd have some leverage in case another embargo or the like happens.
