Wait a miniute, I thought Bush and Cheney were the bad guys who were controlling the oil.

"Nine of the 13 biggest oil producing companies that are in OPEC are also members of the WTO."

She's completely wrong about the largest oil producing countries, and she's wrong about the WTO.

The U.S. does have one trade deal that gives it a lot of energy security -- NAFTA. Under Chapter 6 of NAFTA, Canada -- the world's 8th largest oil producer, and the largest supplier to the U.S. -- guarantees the U.S. equal access to its oil.

Yes -- that's the same NAFTA that the Democrat candidates say they would renegotiate -- even though there's no way any Canadian government could allow Chapter 6 to stay in renegotiated NAFTA. (If our Conservative government allowed this to happen, we wouldn't have another Conservative government for several generations.)

Throw out the baby, bottle the bathwater.
