Probably a good idea not to drill for oil in the US (sarcasm)

Right you are, but the Chinese need it more than we do so it's OK for them to drill.

That must be why Congress won't allow US companies to drill the 9 billion barrel reserve in the Florida Straits, but it's OK for China to be slant drilling into OUR oil from Cuba's side of the Straits. What a great idea, thanks a bunch Ms Pelosi and Mr. Reid, and how nice of you to do this for the poor Chinese just when crude is setting a new price record every day.

This is insane, if I was President, I would issue executive orders to open up ANWAR and offshore drill and whatnot. I'm not a big fan of this method but I feel it would be justified for our security plus why should we let Red China steal our oil? OK then, let us go to the Spratley Islands then but I'm sure Red China would sqwuak like a rooster on meth over that.
