You would think that President Bush, knowing the needs of the oil companies, would have waged a war of words to push the domestic drilling. Maybe he thought that Iraq oil would have become available to increase the world supply.

I think the dominant issue will be the cost of energy. The party that comes up with a clear message about a solution will win.

You would think that President Bush, knowing the needs of the oil companies, would have waged a war of words to push the domestic drilling.

The current situation seems to be meeting the needs of the oil companies quite well.
