The London bombings were fueled by oil (left gets in gear, blames America)

I wonder what kind of SUV Froma owns. Seattle? Plenty of heat needed to keep those houses warm. We may have to blame her...

[goldstategop]

Froma Harrop received an honorable mention on Rush's Friday broadcast. Its Halliburton! Its the oil! Bush lied! Kids died! Here we go again!

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

[okie01]

Froma's understanding of economics appears to be hampered by her political ideology.

[ozzymandus]

Does this moron actually believe we could make oil valueless?? Nobody could be that stupid.

[thoughtomator]

Logically, then, the moral thing to do is to sieze the oil without paying for it.

[jblair]

Froma's understanding is hampered.

[malia]

Oil did not make them do 'it'!!

Bad men did bad things.!!

If not oil then there would be some other source!!!

[jayhorn]

I blame the stupidity of her column on the trees it took to make today's newspaper.

[Fred Nerks]

What disgusts me more than anything is that she gets paid to write this sh*t.

[Darkwolf]

To the left, the criminal is the very last person to blame for it. Rather blame the hundreds of millions of us who use oil before finally getting to the actual terrorists--of course, they use oil, too, so...

Leftist logic in action. No wonder they all look so PAINED all the time, they've got their little brains having headaches with this malarky.

[SuziQ]

So deserving...

[The Red Zone]

But were it not for oil, that part of the world would have long ago moved toward modern economies.

Naw they would have still been backward.

[Allegra]

It is oil's fault.

I stopped reading after that.

They're so predictable.

They'll blame Aemricans for this, when in actuality the blame lies fully on the evil cowardice of al-Qaeda.

No, wait...I put some of the blame on the leftist media for encouraging and supporting al-Qaeda with crap like this article.

[claudiustg]

She puts out a pretty good screed, but she completely skips the little piece of reality that happens if something happens to the oil supply. It won't be pretty, but there is a lot of interesting technology coming. As oil gets more scarce and the supply more tenuous, other energy technologies will come on line.

Wars will be with us until the end of time. Get used to it!

[AZLiberty]

It would only take a few barrels of oil to pay for the small quantities of explosives apparently used in the London terrorism. The issue is not oil or money, but ideology.

[ApplegateRanch]

The dependence upon oil is wedded to the Left's wackos vetoing any real alternatives.

Nuclear? Horrors!

Coal gasification or coal fired plants? Heavens to murgatroyd; NO!

Drill for more natural gas? Not in MY preserve!

Import it to offshore terminals, then? ACK! (Or should that be Great Auk?)

Build wind farms...but don't kill any birds, or put it in MY shoal waters!

And the list of their NIMBY hypocrisy goes on...but IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!

[Psycho_Bunny]

[ladyinred]

No wonder the terrorists feel so empowered! The world is filled with morons who haven't got a clue! Suggest this man start Jihad 101 at the nearest Kindergarten class.

[Fabozz]

"It is time we did something about oil."

Like what—ride subways and buses more?

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

The theory is that angry theologies and genocidal tyrants frustrate economic advancement and breed dementia.

Working for the Seattle Times has much the same effect.
