Castro should be dead, not benefiting from oil drilling.
You sound like a whore willing to sell it to the most vile customer.

Haven't been here long have you?
The poster is representative of a large number of freepers. The only reason they worry about any sort of border or nationalism is to protect their own business interests. They won't admit it, but they're no more patriotic than some of the liberals.

I would like to respond to you, but I have idea what your statement means. Tell me again what it is I'm selling?

Sure, we'd rather have a Venezuelen-owned U.S. subsidiary drill this under OUR banner. But the poster is correct. If Cuba gets a million barrels a day from the Gulf, that's a million barrels it doesn't buy from the rest of the world, lowering demand by a million barrels and easing the fears of shortage that drive up the prices.

It is stupid though that we don't allow our own companies to drill where other countries are already drilling.
