I despise Cantwell as much as the next guy, but I must warn you, she did actually do one thing right. She took a hard stand INSISTING that if ever we did drill in ANWR, the the oil taken out HAD TO be sold in the the United States. Apparently the deal has already been cut, BP (British Petroleum) is the one who was the highest bidder on drilling rights, and it's already a done deal that the oil WILL NOT be sold to the US, it will go to Japan. Why are the Republicans again selling our and our national resources out to foreigners. Cantwell is right on this issue.
I wonder how much how much the cost of this event was understated.
We should find out in, oh, 2009.
I hadn't heard this, HolyScroller. Do you have a link to an article?
Oil is fungible. It doesn't matter to whom it is sold.
