historian Doris Kearns Goodwin lamented the fact that in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, George W. Bush had not “call for an independent – a Manhattan Project for independence from Middle Eastern oil.”

Here is what the hyper ignorant Left needs to learn. We do not need "a Manhattan Project" for Energy Independence. That is the whole reason the Dept of Energy was created back in 1978! Like every other Leftist Utopian idea, DOE has spent trillions of dollars for decades and accomplished nothing to wean the US off it's foreign oil addiction.

The solution is not to do more of the same!

Thanks for reminding me of another reason to ignore that plagiarist.
