Ah,
If it would only come true!
Just think. A real reason for us to start investing in alternate fuel sources or new transportation ideas would simply give us the incentive to dump the Middle East all together. The quicker the better.
Let them eat sand, with a side order of crude oil.
It did with the Arab oil embargo. Even with that it didn't kill the economy, and apparently the movie has it that the crisis will end after the burp. Pipelines can be repaired. Even an oil port can be rebuilt and the slack would be taken up by the rest of the infrastructure in the meantime. The price might spike, but not for long.
DRILL ANWAR NOW.
Why wait another day.
Plus the scenario in the movie that the oil refinery is SA gets hit with an RPG is while being "secured" by 5000 troops is ludicrous. The first thing they would do is extend a perimeter far enough to prevent anyone getting that close.
Too many other doom and gloom scenarios that would happen only if nothing was done.
I don't believe we would be so inactive under such a tremendous crisis.
There is no way the CG owuld let two tankers in such a dangerous situation in the Houston channel.
The tankers from the Russians would probably have been under Navy escort to prevent any terrorist attempt and not let the Chinses "outbid" after we signed a contract. They would never have left port without a contract.
Sorry, this movie is a cartoon.
Modern day chicken little story.
A lefty scare tactic to get us all on bicycles.
Nice try loony left.
What a waste of money.
